Length - zero
Width - zero

Every property and attribute of nature - zero value

Turns out, you don't have to make any room at all.

Has the same amount of room as nothing.

Science works really well because it uses methodological naturalism.

It excludes supernatural explanations a priori.

Therefore it never finds anything supernatural.


Therefore there is no such thing as the supernatural.

This metal detector detects only metal.

I took it to the beach and it detected only metal.

Therefore there is only metal at the beach.
