Granted, not all scientists assume non-intervention.

Scientists are free to believe in miracles, but not in their professional work. If a scientist encounters something unexplainable, the default scientific position is "I don't know how this happened."

True. In some cases, such as the origins of life and the universe, we reach the outer limits of science and enter the realm of metaphysics. We also may engage in conflicting theories about the nature of knowledge.
