Theistic science would take God into account as present and operative in the universe. That does not mean it would be necessary for science to continually introduce God into every scientific statement, much as it is not necessary for the director of a play to introduce himself on stage just to assure the viewers He has a role.

Islamic, Bhuddist, and other beliefs, like the Christian belief, do not need science to make a point for their beliefs. At the same time, science does not need to declare itself, or conduct itself, as atheistic in belief in order to be science.

Hmm, let's see now:

"Effects of angels on SN-2 reaction mechanisms in apolar solvents"

"Estimating miracle frequencies in Miocene backarc basins"

"A simple proof to Cauchy's second inequality: God Did It"

Or how about this as a general approach:

"God might exist. However, that appears to have no influence in telomeric gene expression in the species Anamargaris Capreii..." (etc etc)

Frankly, I can't see how the hypothesized God would fit into any credible scientific discussion, other than gratifying certain eveangelical types and their cronies...
