You are quite right, the business of science is to amass data about the natural world and put it in order, with the hope of developing theories about apparent observed relationships that rely on natural causes. The one objection is that although there should be respect for the data and the apparent relationships, it is possible that the purely naturalistic account leaves something to be desired. Since science defines itself according to its naturalistic presuppositions, whatever competing account there may be must be philosophical or theological, not scientific. That does not mean that the competing accounts cannot be valid, however, as long as they do not falsify the phenomena to be explained........
