Re: On the Tel Dan text.
I agree with the bulk of your post concerning the special privelidges of the methodological naturalism.
The inital point however is, that the existence of a creator is more than reliable and should not be disregarded. Very sound principles of fact gathering have been employed to establish this principle and are not simple additions to bolster a point.
I agree.
But the truism of the creator, in this modern age, isn't a "truism" because of the power of methodo naturalo.
This very real blindness, is quite bizarre, for DNA alone is so beyond "spooky" that there is not a term high enough to describe how incredible it is. To state that every miracle tehreafter is and was caused by a natural cause and effect could be classically concluded to be nothing more than wishful thinking.
There is no sign at all that anything natural is even remotely capable of answering to the facts, concerning the existence of the simlest cell.
