Naturalistic presupposition is the best presupposition available to mankind up to this era. We observe no miracle today. Alleged miracles in the Bible are more probably literal inventions or simplistic explanations of natural phenomena than historical facts.


nat·u·ral·ism

noun

1. arts: literature movement or school advocating realistic description: in art or literature, a movement or school advocating factual or realistic description of life including its less pleasant aspects. In literature, it is applied especially to Zola, Maupassant, and other 19th-century French writers. In the visual arts, it refers to the practice of faithfully representing subjects.

2. religion: belief in religious truth from nature: a belief that all religious truth is derived from nature and natural causes, and not from revelation.

3. philosophy: doctrine rejecting spiritual explanations of world: a system of thought that rejects all spiritual and supernatural explanations of the world and holds that science is the sole basis of what can be known.
