In "The Rise of Modern Science" these assumptions that you just take for granted are explained in terms of the other cultures in which the assumptions didn't exist - China and Islamic countries.

(Western) scientists assume order and discoverability because of the basis of their culture - the old and new testament of the Bible.

Islamic "scientists" were severely limited by their culture, because their educational facilities saw any assumption of a consistent creation as "chaining Allah" and was viewed as apostasy.

Back to the point. Modern science is based on the SUPERNATURAL ASSUMPTION that the Creator made His creation in a logical manner that was discoverable by His special creation, mankind.

I think I agree with this statement, although some modern scientist refuse to assent to this assumption.
