I have been bringing this up in a couple of places, mainly because I hear people say things like evolution is a natural explanation for life. So before we can actually accept that shouldn’t the meaning of the phrase “natural” be clearly defined to avoid circular reasoning? If we get to say natural is whatever we want it to be, then only those things that agree with us will be acceptable. Afterwards no matter what is seen, identified, validated or invalidated, contrary to logic, the natural will keep everything off the table for that reason alone.
