I entirely agree with Steve and George about the embryology/evolution
analogy being a good one, with regard to naturalism.

I like to ask my students the following questions, which they answer by
raising their hands if they say "yes":

(1) Do you believe that you are made in the image of God, as I do?

(2) Do you believe that you resulted from a sexual act involving a sperm
and an egg from your parents, as I do? (Here I add, if you don't believe
that--ask your mother.)

(3) Do you believe that these truths are contradictory?

This conversation takes place when talking about evolution, reductionism,
and God.
