That natural causes and explanations are efficient,necessary, primary and sufficient is the presumption of naturalism[ Antony Garrard Newton Flew,before his fall into dememtia]. The ignostic-icOckham thread shows no reason to bring in the supernatural.
This neither begs the question nor sandbags theists but, as with Hume’s position on miralcles, is the demand for evidence. Einstein provided evidence to override some of Newton’s laws.
We no more need demons , in addition to natural causes and explanations, to explain mental illness or gremlins , as first causes and explanations, to explain mechanical problems.Thor is not a first cause and explanation in regards to the weather.
As with Thor and the weather, the whole of Existence does not neeed an outside cause and explanation.[ Hume-Russelll-Edwards thought that thesits committed the fallacy of composition in arguing from the particulars of Existence to the whole of it.No, but we show that naturalists note that we go from the particulars to the whole to show no deity! Yhe irony! Theists have it so wrong!]
skeptic griggsy, since I can’t logically explain God, I can’t provide much of a couterpoint. I’m sorry I don’t have material to help with this thread.
