"Scientific inquiry follows the evidence. Is that what you’re calling “a philosophy of naturalism”?"

Demonstrably false.

‘We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism." Richard Lewontin

You have to do better than a little quote mining.

Are you disagreeing with the statement that scientitific inquiry follows the evidence?
