Is naturalism true?
  • Naturalism
    • 2 : a theory denying that an event or object has a supernatural significance;
      specifically : the doctrine that scientific laws are adequate to account for all phenomena
"I believe in no religion. There is absolutely no proof for any of them, and from a philosophical standpoint Christianity is not even the best. All religions, that is, all mythologies to give them their proper name, are merely man’s own invention..."

Give some. All there has to be is one that is universal anyway.
Well, I can see why you don't need logic for your beliefs, but I'll allow you to do a little research on your own.

That is a really easy question.

Absence of evidence is evidence of absence when the evidence should be there and is not.

We have no evidence or the supernatural other than a vacuum of falsifiable evidence for it.

Science to date has had a 100% success rate in answering all questions using a naturalistic explanation.

Clarification:
I did not say Science has answered all questions. I am saying that the questions it answered was via a natural explanation. Not once did it have to refer to the supernatural. When nature does something super, it does not follow that it is the the supernatural.


Why on earth does Religion and Philosophy still exist? This is just evidential support that some primates evolve different to others, and that natural selection works.
