' Or do you think the definition is "faulty?" "
Your first definition says the same thing, in so many words.
My instructions on this whole subject come largely from Dr. Eugenie Scott:
Where is it written that natural explanations for natural processes is the "first principle of science?" Can I have a cite???
There's nothing in the definition of science that suggests natural explanations for natural processes is "the first principle" of science:
Science: noun [mass noun]:That's from the Oxford English Dictionary.
(1) the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment; (2) a systematically organized body of knowledge on a particular subject; (3) knowledge of any kind [archaic]
Again, how do we get to your "first principle" from that definition? Or do you think the definition is "faulty?"
