Here I have a different agenda other than evangelism. To show that it is you who want to bring materialism in, without due cause.
This kind of thing flashes in and out of your posts. Materialism is "brought in without due cause" or methodological naturalism is described as "philosophical bias".
As you're a stickler for empirical evidence, what you need to do in order to justify your accusations is to start a thread listing all the known non-natural explanations we have for natural phenomena.
Scientists look for natural explanations out of plain common sense built on human experience. The only satisfactory explanations that have ever proved true and useful have been natural.
So, instead of putting those off-topic accusations of bias into your own thread here, why not make a new one for them, saving people like me from making off-topic replies here.
You could call it "Methodological Naturalism is born of Philosophical Bias", or something like that.
