You would concede though, would you not, that there are things demonstrated in this world that cannot be explained by modern science?

Yes, but your implication that these unexplained phenomena do not have natural explanations is baseless. God of the gaps arguments are ridiculous. You cannot just claim that everything science currently does not explain, was created by magic. This has been done consistently for hundreds of years by the church, and has been consistently smacked down by science. From a flat earth to geocentricism to natural disasters to disease to the diversity of life on earth, god of the gaps arguments are the last resort of people with no real evidence.

To jump you ahead, houeto said science could not explain why the moon did not rotate. He was quickly informed that it did rotate once per revolution and he then said that was statistically improbable .... now he is onto the Tesla free-energy machine that the government or someone would have no part of since we could not allow the public to have free energy.

I do not mean to imply that all unexplained phenomena do not have natural explanations. Science will never stop discovery, thank goodness.

What I mean to point out is that true naturalists believe that there is no such thing as miracle. (what you referred to as magic)

BTW, miracle and magic are not the same. Magic is trickery that can be scientifically explained. Miracle is something divine which cannot be scientifically explained.
