Science is just definitions of methods which verify whether a guess about reality matches reality. In other words, it is a system for methodically relating our curiosity with our observations or calculated inferences. Limitations inherent in this system are our limited abilities to observe, calculate, and infer. It is also limited by our imagination to even guess or be curious about a thing or a relationship of things. Underpinning it all, interestingly enough, is the idea that the universe, or our reality, is even ordered and discernible, or that we are even capable of discerning accurately or reasonably interpreting our observations or calculated inferences intelligently enough to reliably see what is to be seen or know what is to be known.
Not many people know this, because the inception of this truth is so far distant in our past, but a certainty about the existence of a God of nature was what led to early thinkers developing these methods of finding His order out. The methods of scientific inquiry are founded in the belief that an intelligent being not only created our reality, but organized it by laws which were orderly and comprehensible. The additional understanding early thinkers had which led to the explosion of scientific endeavor was the belief that a grand architect also created us in His image, thus endowing us with the means of finding out those laws and understanding them to some degree.
This is why, to me, science is completely compatible with faith. Faith is simply a hope in a truth that is then tested with action, much like a hypotheses that is tested with an experiment. The first hypotheses, maybe, was that a God of order did, in fact, create our reality with organized laws and that we are, as created in His image, able to understand them. The experiment thus far is panning out that laws do exist and we are able to know them. Science cannot be successful without the fact that reality is organized – which in a way concedes that it was organized with order and intelligence.
