Naturalism is the only position we are justified in adopting when it comes to questions of reality, existence and metaphysics. Supernaturalism is a meaningless and bankrupt concept, without any proper primary definitions or known causal relationship to any part of reality.
1. Natural causes as explanations of the facts of reality should always be preferred over supernatural causes.
2. Supernatural causation is only meaningful as a negation of natural causes, viewed from the natural universe
3. Negation of natural causes is only be possible if humans were omniscient, in that all possible natural causes need to be eliminated first.
4. Humankind has limits on its knowledge.
5. Supernatural causation is impossible. (from 1, 2, 3 and 4).
6. Naturalism is an absolute. (from 5).
