“Clearly some great sky being waved his hands and created them.” [excerpt]
That directly contradicts your previous assertion that There simply is no non-naturlalistic reality.

I understood your previous assertion to mean that everything is naturalistic, but perhaps I misunderstood?

You now appear to be asserting that certain origins are supernatural.

I'm sorry - that was sarcasm. I didn't think it needed the /sarc tag. . .

You just missed the sarcasm. While we don't yet know the naturalistic explanation for all questions the fact that we've never seen a non-naturalistic answer lends substantial credibility to the assertion that all questions will have such an answer, if and when that answer is found.

In some instances, of course, since the events are in the past (evolution, origins of the universe, etc.) we'll be drawing conclusions based on reason and evidence rather than direct observation. . .

You now appear to be asserting that certain origins are supernatural.

I've seen absolutely no support for any such assertion. ;)
