Hi WILLOWTREE,
Yes, it is called Methodological Naturalism and Rational Enquiry - these methodologies are superior for the natural world. Their only defects is the Divine neutrality claims which are really Divine exclusionary. It is this exclusion which triggers the wrath of God-sense removal.
How is exclusion of the Divine a 'defect', as opposed to a 'limit', of Methodological Naturalism. By definition Naturalism cannot examine the supernatural, so why would it trigger wrath?
Is the wrath of God-sense removal triggered in any other fields when the Divine is excluded, say automobile repair? As an example, I know of no mechanic who considers Divine intervention as the source of a car not starting - wouldn't that also trigger wrath?
Also, in practice, how would inclusion of the Divine in the scientific method work, since the scientific method cannot encompass the Divine?
The best I can come up with is that it would be practiced absolutely the same as it is now, but that each and every conclusion, no matter how insignificant, would be followed by, "or something supernatural happened."
How do you envision integration of the Divine into Methodological Naturalism?
