What exactly is matter, time and space? Hey, this is as basic (i.e., "simple") as it can possibly get, isn't it? Since naturalists state that everything may be explained in terms of these fundamental things, can any naturalist out there educate us poor, ignorant creationists by clearly showing us what these "simple" things are? Any one of the above will do.
You don't get it, do you? The nature of matter, time and space are, at the fundamental level, metphysical questions. Methodological naturalism contends that the
interactions and behaviours of all that is be explained in terms of all that is. There is no necessary metaphysical view common to all naturalists of what the nature of these fundamentals may be.
Take this back to the
Joralex: Tenetativity and Dogmatism thread. You might as well be hopelessly confused and evasive about metaphysics in one place, rather than spreading it about.
