Diesm or Naturalism

[leerock89]

Here we go folks and simple question for you out there. Which is it? Are you one to believe in diesm(A transcendent God, as a First Cause, created the universe but then left it to run on its own. God is thus not immanent, not fully personal, not sovereign over human affairs, not providential.) or naturalism(Matter exists eternally and is all there is. God does not exist. The cosmos exists as a uniformity of cause and effect in a closed system.) Pick your brain properly before answering this one. Or do you believe in nothing but yourself and what you can do?

Now there are two forms of naturalism, methodical or metaphysical. Metaphysical naturalism refers to the metaphysical belief that the natural world (i.e. the universe) is all that exists and, therefore, nothing supernatural exists. Methodical naturalism refers to the methodological assumption that explanations of observable effects are practical and useful only when they hypothesize natural causes (i.e., specific mechanisms, not indeterminate miracles)

I am a methodical naturalist. I do not believe in God or an original creator. The universe exist because it IS and there isn't a being out there that created it. Science, philosophy and logic dictates that this universe is because it is, not because of creation. But because of evolution I do believe there is a way to achieve a higher state of mind. So that would make me an agnostic methodical naturalist... I think...
