New article 2010, a start.
'''Naturalism''' is a philosophy that rejects the possibility of supernatural phenomena, describing such phenomena as misunderstood natural phenomena or falsehood. This preconception necessarily precludes the existence of God.
'''Naturalism''' could refer to various topics within [[art]], [[literature]], [[philosophy]] and [[science]].
* [[Naturalism (philosophy)]]
* [[Natural history]]
* [[Realism]]
* Sociological naturalism
[[Moral naturalism]] rejects divine revelation as the source of ethics, holding that morals emerged from the emergence of the best course for survival as a society, much as instincts emerge as the best course for survival among animals in the wild.
*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. <ref>http://www.icr.org/article/2605/</ref>
