In other words; you have no natural mechanism in your own body that ensures the production of food, drink and air.

I suppose we belong in a place with rivers of milk, and maidens with jewels for hair then do we?

You've concluded that a thing being unnatural is bad, and therefore that our existing on earth is bad because it's unnatural. The flaw is in your initial assumption that if a thing is unnatural it is necessarily bad. There are many unnatural things that are actually good (let me count the ways). So the problem with your argument has nothing to do with whether our survival on earth is natural or not, but rather your assumption that if it is not natural it is bad. Once you remove the flawed assumption, your argument collapses.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I might be wrong on all philosobabble sold ideas, But anything that happens is quite natural.
This is a distinction never made. How do you go about determining natural from unnatural? What is the criteria?

"Unnatural" is a conceptual disctinion...people who think that all things are ultimately natural still find use for the term to describe one set of natural™ things not like the other™.
Consider artificial vs natural selection. Both are natural, ultimately...but we employ the term to signify that one is not like the other.
The trouble, for atlass, at least..is that he completely failed to note any thing that was unlike the other™.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No. We wear clothes to be comfortable. Personally I enjoy a naked hike in the mountains in the wind and rain.
Um....any photos?

What are the natural conditions that allow go to survive? (besides people)
Is there something that survives that doesn't need other things to keep surviving?
Congrats on another idea that makes theism look stupid.
