I think that I might phrase it differently. I would say that the universe is the art work of God, and that science is our best effort to understand the physical aspects of that work of art.
As I've said in other threads I think that we should view science as a natural theology.
He has told you, O man, what is good ; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
