    I think designbot, your issue (and the problem fundamentalist religon types) is in fact with determinism, and not that "that EVERYTHING can be explained through natural processes". It's in actuality a serious problem confronted by scientific philosophers for quite a while. It does seem that the thinking going on in Emergence studies and Complexity Theory are starting to point to a universe that isn't in fact based on Newtonian deterministic, reductionist principles - thus it cannot explain all things. There is, in fact, space for creativity and choice within the All. Despite the press that Dawkins, et. all. seem to get, Science doesn't really care about God, proving or disproving him. It's not at heart a scientific question, because you can neither prove or disprove such a thing.
