building on MIB's comment, "I THINK this means what I mean. Philosphical = there is no soul, methodological = we can't measure a soul"
*Naturalism (i.e., [[naturalistic evolution]]) is often desirable, for it seemingly frees us from the authority of a Creator God. Without a God to whom we are accountable, we are free to live as we choose. College students, often surrounded by hedonism are particularly ripe for wrong thinking, and many never recover.

''Philosophical naturalism'' is the doctrine that [[human being]]s have no [[soul]] or [[spiritual body]], that there is no [[afterlife]] in [[heaven]] or [[hell]], and that all supernatural phenomena, causes or beings are merely figments of human imagination.
''Methodological naturalism'' differs from the above in not positively making any of those philosophical assertions. Yet it takes roughly the same form because it assumes that supernatural phenomena are utterly undetectable.
Philosophers of science argue perpetually over the issues these perspectives entail.
