Science requires no necessity for a natural explanation. Such a statement would be one that belongs in metaphysics. Good science would accept the possibility of non-natural causes that were beyond it competence to study even while seeks natural ones. Do not mistake research methodology with ontological truth

Are you kidding me? You are so far off the mark it's not funny.

None of these yobs will address the primary issue of material -vs- supernatural explanation.

How successful have supernatural explanations been in observing and predicting the universe and settling issues of factual disagreement?

How many scientific theories are dependent upon an unquantifiable and unknowable power that is impossible to observe or predict?
