Science undertaken with the presupposition of natural law is science undertaken with the presuppostion of intelligent design. The fact that an intelligent agent may at any time override natural law is no more "supernatural" than the fact that the owner of a car can intervene, soup things up, tear things down, build them again, or make something up altogether different out of the very same raw materials.

"Atheistic" is an adjective, and it applies to all science that is undertaken with the assumption God is forever and always outside of its purview.

Science undertaken with the presupposition of natural law is science undertaken with the presuppostion of intelligent design.

So, if science appeals solely to natural law, then that excludes God and is atheistic. But, if science appeals solely to natural law, then that also presupposes ID and is therefore theistic. So does this make science polytheistic? No, that doesn't work. How about paratheistic?
