Is Science Philosophically Limited?

Materialism is a philosophy so how can someone that follows a philosophy be philosophically limited?
Good question. I think science is a product of methodological naturalism or at least philosophical naturalism rather than simple materialism. Am I wrong?

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
Salman Rushdie
This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
