>>The starting point of Evolution is that, everything that exists arrived at its current state via completely Naturalistic processes.


The only completely Naturalistic process is Evolution.<<

The second one is not accurate. The theory of evolution is just currently the theory that best fits the evidence

The first one is true but if evidence of intervention by an intelligent being is found that would be part of naturalistic. so while science does not assume God (or gods for that matter) it does not preclude them either.

The only completely Naturalistic process is Evolution.
“The second one is not accurate.” [excerpt]
Evolution as taught claims that it is the singular Naturalistic source of life.

Evolutionists have a priori commitment to denying the second. (While at the same time promoting the same)

“so while science does not assume God (or gods for that matter) it does not preclude them either.” [excerpt]
From a post by Coyote[man]:
“Methodological naturalism is a philosophical rule used by scientists. This rule states that scientists must look for a naturalistic cause (and only a naturalistic cause) for a natural phenomenon.” [excerpt]
Methodological Naturalism precludes anything supernatural, including God.
