Let me pose a question to you (similar to Martin Harran):

If after 10,000 years of concerted OoL research (say), all conceivable 
natural explanations and pathways have been deemed implausible (say), 
then we have these options:
1. Keep looking for natural causes only
2. Give up looking
3. Keep looking for natural causes, but consider supernatural agency
4. Give up looking for natural causes, but consider supernatural agency

Personally, you may choose 1 or 2. My question is, do you regard 3 (or 
4) as having any merit or validity? If not, what basis for discussion do 
we then have?
