I believe you share your philosophical approach to science with the likes of Newton. What I have seen coming from the leftist universities in the last century has been an atheistic philosophical approach to science that a priori categorically excludes any deduction that what you see in the microscope or in the existence of atoms or their "natural" properties is the result of any kind of supernatural guidance. So as a result those who state that what they see in the microscope is evidence of intelligent design are, like they are here on free republic, ridiculed and scoffed and attacked not for what they observe in nature, but what they conclude by those observances.
Now I don't go on these crevo threads too often, but whenever I do I am mocked and ridiculed. Generally I don't even state what my own philosophical or scientific conclusions are, I generally just question those who find it necessary to ridicule people who have a different opinion in regard to their philosophical approach to scientific data and observations.
FWIW I have a rather quantum physical approach to the subject. I believe that God created a 6 billion year old earth in 6 days. He could have done it quicker, but he wanted to take his time. :-)
I believe that God is timeless. He always was and always will be. Linear time is an artifact of the limitations of human perception. In God's creation process time is only a witness.
