We can live without consternation in a predictable habitat, and not have to worry on a minute by minute basis what some unpredictable, capricious deity has in store for us. Miracles are still possible. In fact, miracles are part of our belief structure, if we trust the Bible, and put our faith in God. Miracles are just not part of the scientific process. Neither are miracles the only point of departure between the opposing realms of science and religion.
Science explains, religion reveals, science informs, but religion reforms.
Science involves careful observations, natural explanations, rational inferences, and deductive reasoning. Good experiments, quantifiable results, impartiality, and objectivity are desirable ingredients in good science. Experiments must be repeatable and verifiable, results should be reliable, and tests of validity are applied. A widely held explanation for sickness was that God caused it as retribution for sin, until Louis Pasteur discovered bacteria. To scientists, creation will always be the explanation of last resort, after all other natural explanations have failed.
