Science is the exploring of the natural world. Religion is all supernatural. Thus, disrupting scientific progress by injecting religious philosophy is a recepie for disaster.
Actually, the characteristic of science is that it deals with testable and retestable knowledge, not its naturalism.
I have already pointed to the naturalistic, but patently non-scientific cosmology of Lee Smolin, which shows the non-congruence between science and naturalism in one way.
One can see it in another way also: many early scientists did experiments in what is today called 'the occult'. They gave no reproducible results--or rather gave the oft reproduced result that the ceremonial manipulations did nothing--but the attempt shows that the supernatural is not outside the domain of scientific investigation.
