They should be wearing their scientist hat -- but it would be helpful if they were to say there are other hats, too. Maybe they could use Newton to illustrate this point. Newton's (heretical) Biblical speculations are almost completely ignored nowadays. IIRC, his alchemy, do a minor extent, is somewhat scientific.

Newton's (heretical) Biblical speculations are almost completely ignored nowadays. Well jeepers, Virginia-American, neither Pannberg nor I am ignoring them. So I gather you'd say we must be terribly out-of-step with current fashions....
But then TRVTH is not fashionable.
I find it interesting that you would take a shot at Newton like that.

There is nothing intrinsically wrong with alchemy, depending on the methods of research employed. We have, in fact, transmuted elements.
Bad conjectures do not make pseudoscience; bad methods do.

Could you/would you direct me to a source for reading Newton's Biblical speculations? ... I'm rather interested in reading those.
