Who here has been strongly pushing the idea that non-natural causes can't exist? Those arguing against you are not arguing on that basis. They are rather saying that natural causes probably do exist for appreciation of music, and they have proposed (or passed on other peoples proposals for) some of them. You might not agree with those proposed natural explanations, but even if they are false the mere possibility of any natural explanation is enough to refute the argument that you have been defending. Namely Colson's assertion that there is no natural explanation and thus the existence of music (or of human appreciation of music) is evidence for God. I view God as a matter of faith, and as something that will likely remain that way. Proof is unlikely to happen (unless God does exist and decides to provide the proof), even serious evidence is very unlikely (again without divine intervention).
