Do you really thing naturalism (i.e. the empirical method) has produced nothing and explains nothing?

You really have to keep your blinders on to believe that.

What does naturalism explain? And what does naturalism produce that can’t be produced by science with a different philosophical basis?

The scientific method is a method for the logical, rational study of the world. How does the philosophical basis for science affect the use of that method?

You keep ignoring the fact that for hundreds of years, science did have a different philosophical basis and looking back, it was the time of the greatest advances scientifically, known to man. I just don’t see as many scientists of that caliber these days.
