Methodological naturalism is a strategy for studying the world by which scientists choose not to consider supernatural causes - even as a remote possibility. (Conservapedia)
According to Christian philosopher Alvin Plantinga,
“The philosophical doctrine of methodological naturalism holds that, for any study of the world to qualify as “scientific,” it cannot refer to God’s creative activity (or any sort of divine activity).”
The possibility of divine intervention in nature is not only neglected, but positively dismissed.
“The methods of science, it is claimed, “give us no purchase” on theological propositions—even if the latter are true—and theology therefore cannot influence scientific explanation or theory justification. Alvin Plantinga, Department of Philosophy, Decio Hall, University of Notre Dame
Whether it is called natural science and evolution or methodological naturalism it imperiously demands the exclusion of everything supernatural in favor of the closed box of naturalism: void, matter and energy working in and through matter.
As void, matter (chemicals) and alchemical energy acting on chemicals does not, can not, and never has produced life, let alone conscious life, natural science adherents cannot allow ontological questions to be asked, thus they are rabidly zealous in the quashing of such questions by way of psychological abuse, terror, ruthless ridicule, relentless criticism, slander and even physical death whenever total power falls into the hands of the worst of them, as was the case in the Soviet Empire.
After much thought C.S. Lewis concluded that the entire purpose of natural science is to keep God out and furthermore, Evolution is the Biggest Lie at the center of a vast, interlocking system of lies.
You still don't "get it", do you?
Science itself "demands" nothing, except adherence to the definition of the word "science": natural explanations for natural processes.
Science itself makes no claims -- philosophical, metaphysical, ontological or otherwise -- to be true, True, complete or even necessarily accurate, except, except: in the practical sense of "what works".
Science is and only is a methodology which often produces results that help humans comprehend our otherwise incomprehensible material universe.
Yes, of course, there are atheists who grab onto the practical working assumptions of science and apotheosize them up to the levels of philosophy and theology.
But they are your problem, not science itself, or those many scientists who were and are Christians.
