Merv,

The definition I put into my post was taken from an encyclopedia article on
"naturalism" that I wrote with philosopher and colleague Robin Collins. We
weren't trying to write a definition that would be contested; we were trying
to write an accurate description/definition of various forms of naturalism,
including (among others) methodological naturalism. The question of whether
or not someone accepts the kind of naturalism we spelled out in the essay
could involve controversy, but we hoped that our definition itself would not
be part of that controversy, that it would be (instead) simply a standard
way of defining it.

Are you suggesting that our definition is not accurate to the term,
methodological naturalism?
