Carl,
The questionable plank in your metaphysics is the following:
<<1. All things that have real existence conform to natural laws. Nothing is
separate from or superior to what are considered natural laws. Thus
supernatural things cannot exist.>>
It is more accurate to say the following:
"Natural laws" are extremely accurate models of what we perceive goes on in the universe. When something violates a "natural law," it indicates an imperfection in our model.
<<As the old song goes, "It ain't necessarily so",>>
It ain't necessarily so.
It ain't necessarily so.
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so.
