All science is a “God free” explanation. Can you outline a scientific methodology that includes God? A scientific theory that includes God?

Your objection is as relevant as complaining that you cannot get a first down while playing soccer. Science doesn't include God in it's explanations.

Presupposing supernatural causation of physical phenomena is not science - it is creationism - and it is useless because it leads to no further discovery or explanation. Goddidit - no other explanation necessary, no further discovery forthcoming, no application, no use.

Thus my original point - next up - an explanation how Gravity, Physics, Geology, etc are all not science. But creationism and intelligent design ARE!/ gag!

Hmm, seems that it was Newton’s reasoning that God was a God of order and that the universe could be investigated in an orderly manner to learn more about Him.

Pinging A-G as she is much better informed on that matter.

What you fail to recognize is that when there are only two sides of a topic, there can be no neutral ground. There is either God or no-God.

So your preference is the no God one.

Why and what makes it superior to the God position, in your mind?

It looks like atheist physicist Sean Carroll, and atheist biologists Jerry Coyne and P. Z. Myers didn't get the memo:

Detecting the supernatural: Why science doesn’t presuppose methodological naturalism, after all

Cordially,
