Science does offer explanations of what is occurring in the nature. You're attempting to find the cause of nature, that puts the burden of proof on you for that assertion. Science makes no claim for the cause of the natural world existing in the first place. So you analogy is fallacious reasoning, try again.
I was referring to your materialist ideology, not science.
Stop assuming what people believe, it's a disingenuous form of debate.

Materialists get quite defensive when the scientific facade is removed and their underlying ideology is brought into the light. Just something I've noticed over the years.
It's usually a dead giveaway when someone portrays Science (capital S) with the language of a monolithic arbitrating entity. (e.g. "Science says..." "I believe in Science..." , etc.)

Or when they do the same with the Bible?

one is the belief in something physical
the other a belief in Something non-physical.
people believe in gravity enough that their feet stay attached to the ground - yet we know our understanding of it is incomplete.
you don't see people just floating off into space everyday because they overcome their belief in gravity!!!

The physical world can be demonstrated, the non-physical world is nothing more than fantasy unless it can be demonstrated.

Dreams are non-physical. So are thoughts.
I think it could be hard to demonstrate either have a “reality” in the physical. Maybe a physical cause, but, a physical property? I dunno.
But, still, it appears that dreams and thoughts do exist in some way.

Your position is self-refuting.
The physical world is bound by non-physical law. We sometimes refer to these as 'inherent properties' of nature. For example, Gravity is said to be natural phenomenon produced by an inherent property of matter in the universe.
That inherent property is the directing force of nature, yet is itself nowhere located in the realm of the physical. Even if we resolved the natural mechanics even further, it's just kicking the can down the road and we're ultimately left with the same scenario.
So it is self-evident that the physical world exists and persists by the order and direction of some non-physical authority.
Unfortunately, the materialist is so boxed in by his own contrived ideology, that he must deny this basic God-given reasoning. He willingly cuts himself off from truth, even though it is continually staring him in the face.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools... - Romans 1:20-22

"The physical world is bound by non-physical law"
Another baseless assertion, evidence?? Please demonstrate it.
"So it is self-evident that the physical world exists and persists by the order and direction of some non-physical authority"
If that was the case, there would be plenty of evidence for that claim, but it's not there. Gravity isn't evidence for god.
