The Plausibility of Theistic Science

Opponents of theistic science argue that science should inherently remain neutral towards facts, devoid of any theistic or atheistic assumptions. This article argues that specific areas of science, particularly within the social sciences, are inherently influenced by theistic or atheistic foundations, challenging the notion of complete neutrality. If a religious perspective is involved, this aspect of science may be classified as theistic science. Conversely, other areas of science do not inherently adopt theistic or non-theistic positions. Within this context, it is acknowledged that scientists may commit to methodological naturalism as a shared framework for achieving universal science. However, this commitment does not imply that knowledge obtained from religious scriptures for understanding facts cannot be considered scientific.
