How did the turtle get on the fencepost?

The question is sometimes posed by creationists. Their point is simple: A turtle on a fencepost points to intelligent intervention. The same holds true of the physical universe. Someone had to do it.

The puzzle of a turtle perched on a post points to naturalism, not supernatural intervention.

The hand that placed him there was not supernatural. It was natural. His predicament is not the outcome of a divine cause. There is a natural explanation.
