Code Toad: "Nope. Wrong, again.
Science deals with observations.
An observation can be non-natural."
By historical definition, natural philosophy (today's science) deals only in natural explanations for natural processes.
Everything else came under different categories, especially theology.
Your personal compulsion to redefine science to better suit your own theological perspective is not recognized by any natural scientist, living or past.

There is nothing natural about the atheist definition of nature. Anti-god types, like the sleazy lawyer Charlie Lyell, pushed for the redefinition using fake but convinving geology, and underhanded plots like this:
“If we don’t irritate, which I fear that we may (though mere history), we shall carry all with us. If you don’t triumph over them, but compliment the liberality and candour of the present age, the bishops and enlightened saints will join us in despising both the ancient and modern physico-theologians. It is just the time to strike, so rejoice that, sinner as you are, the Q. E. is open to you.... I conceived the idea five or six years ago, that if ever the Mosaic geology could be set down without giving offence, it would be in an historical sketch, and you must abstract mine, in order to have as little to say as possible yourself. Let them feel it, and point the moral.” [Letter to G. Poulett Scrope, Esq., 9 Crown Office Row, London: June 14, 1830, in, Charles Lyell, “Life, letters and journals of Sir Charles Lyell Vol I.” John Murray, 1881, Chap. XI, p.271]
I also wouldn’t place too much stock in Alinsky Joe’s scientific aptitude. He doesn’t understand the difference between logic and the logical fallacy called circular reasoning. Check out his replies to my post on radiometric dating.

You can’t make that stuff up.
Mr. Kalamata
