“Scientists are defined by an adherence to the scientific method. Anyone can play, but they must play by those rules.”
If by the “scientific method” you mean totally naturalistic causes, then this is impossible. The real Christian cannot “compartmentalize” truth - even if it can’t be strictly confined to the “scientific method.”
Whatever, go in peace.
Science assumes naturalism as a working hypothesis. By doing so, it ignores that which it cannot measure or observe in some manner. It leaves other assumptions to other fields. Is that such a horrible thing to do?
As such, science is not after TRVTH, or even Truth. Science is after explanations for what can be observed in the natural world.
Here is a good explanation of how science views truth (from a Cal Tech website):
Truth: This is a word best avoided entirely in physics [and science--ed.] except when placed in quotes, or with careful qualification. Its colloquial use has so many shades of meaning from it seems to be correct to the absolute truths claimed by religion, that its use causes nothing but misunderstanding. Someone once said "Science seeks proximate (approximate) truths." Others speak of provisional or tentative truths. Certainly science claims no final or absolute truths. Source.
