This is a re-statement of what you said before. I understand what you've been saying.
You are sure that anything that happens is natural. You rule out the supernatural a priori.
You are very committed to this metaphysical view. You may well be right.
What you seem to miss is that it follows from *your* definition of natural.
You *defined* the 'nature' of something to be 'what it is or does'. So, *whatever* it does is, by *your* definition, natural.
If you *don't* mean that as your definition, then be more clear about your definition.
