[From Denyse: I've never had much use for methodological naturalism because, in practice, despite emphatic disclaimers by theists in science, it heavily weights research in sensitive areas toward a materialist standpoint. That is, a materialist theory can be as stupid as the Big Bazooms theory of human evolution and yet appear to make more sense than the obvious immateriality of information and the mind that apprehends it.
