Your logic is truly irrational. You engage in logical fallacy as a matter of course. Asserting that the supernatural doesn't exist except as an idea is begging the question.

Please do yourself a favor and look up 'begging the question' you are the one asserting that the supernatural exists.

Let's say that I observe a cat spontaneously forming for no reason out of nothing. Can you tell me that there is no cause or effect? That is your premise isn't it, that nothing has a cause or effect?

Yes that would be correct. Everything comes from waves of nothing.

Nope, just demonstrating that you would define a cat spontaneously forming for no reason out of nothing as having no cause and effect. You simply confirm that you accept 'no cause and effect' a priori, no matter what. That's 'begging the question'.
