This statement appeared significant to me, because it implied that science was broader and more open than the defined conclusions of Scripture. A broader approach would have a greater potential of finding truth. I continued reflecting on this question from several perspectives, and in the process began wondering if science could be fitted into the impossibly narrow confines of a naturalistic philosophy that arbitrarily excludes God and suggests an evolutionary origin of nearly everything. The question raised is complex and is not easily resolved. Part of the problem is that there is no simple definition or understanding of what science is.
Science is a broad concept that can be approached and understood from a variety of perspectives.
Because of this we can divide science in various ways. Possible categories are natural sciences, social sciences, experimental sciences, and theoretical sciences. I am not especially enamored with these designations but will use them because they do convey somewhat the concepts represented. Naturalistic science reflects the modern philosophical understanding of science. Evolution of the universe and of life is the only acceptable model of origins.
