I agree, we can speculate all we want. We all have starting presuppositions which are not proven.
Simply stating that there are vague things that are shaky and unproven in science's view of the universe does not support your ludicrous concepts, nor does it even establish anything about science in the first place. If you have issues with the scientific view then you can SPECIFY THEM. Hand-waving is simply that, and if all you have to offer is spittle-driven flapping then admit it now so you can be duly ignored.

And likewise, this applies to the naturalist. How will he ever distinguish the difference himself? Are you skeptical about your own skepticism?
Not particularly, mainly because it isn't a relevant question the other way around. A naturalist will distinguish the difference when it becomes apparent that an event was caused by a known entity, something that they are intimately familiar with due to being known intelligent entities themselves. You will have a hard time arguing that a naturalist has never observed an artificial event because that implies that they have never observed themselves doing anything, ever.

All sorts of ideas and explanations are possible, and you are free to wait for some other explanation, just be honest enough to admit in so doing, it requires faith in the absense of any empirical evidence, while flying in the face of 100% of human observation.
So in other words many possible explanations open up if I am willing to go stark raving mad? Thanks, but I don't view slack-jawed gibbering lunacy a valid working theory.
