My third paper was published by Symposion in December 2019: EMAAN: An Evolutionary Multiverse Argument against Naturalism.

This paper starts from the assumption of Cosmological Natural Selection (or Universal Darwinism) in a sufficiently large and diverse multiverse.  It concludes that supernatural entities, such as miracles and afterlives, will evolve that cannot be observed by the empirical sciences, unless these sciences keep their findings secret in the long run. The reason is that the empirical sciences themselves will, just like anything else, become evolutionarily conserved. Therefore they are predestined to make precisely these measurements that fail to observe supernatural phenomena, because they got conserved in a period when supernatural phenomena had not evolved yet. This is to say that supernaturality keeps itself secret in order to preserve a correct self-reproduction of the universe in the multiverse.
