Looking for natural explanations for natural phenomena is common sense, because they're the only type that have ever proved to be useful and true. A superstitious culture may have believed that infectious diseases were caused by evil spirits, but finding out that microorganisms and viruses cause them was a great step towards dealing with them, for example.
If you have an objection to methodological naturalism, why don't you start a thread listing all the non-natural explanations for natural phenomena that have been useful to humanity? This list could serve as a basis for your arguments against the view that nature is natural.
We look for natural explanations of geological phenomena, but this thread gives you and other creationists the opportunity to explain the rocks in detail according to the young earth and flood view.
Just implying vaguely that it's all magic doesn't achieve this. Either there's such a thing as coherent creation science, or there isn't. Let's have some of it. I'll try not to laugh. Honest.

Of course. But it wouldn't stand much chance of being taught in U.S. school science classes, would it?
Welcome to EvC.
(Sorry about the off-topic, TheMatt. Back to young earth er...geology??)
