Scripture and science; enemies or allies?

The question I want to consider today is this; can we separate God's word from God's world?

Quotes and comments;

A. "In a word, in physical science, he must keep strictly to physical induction and demonstration; in religious inquiry to moral proof, but never confound the two together... The mistake consists in confounding these two distinct objects together; and imagining we are pursuing science when we introduce the authority of scripture." - Baden Powell/1838

- We're continually being told we must not confuse 'science' with special revelation, or science with religion. This however is much more difficult than it's made to sound. I would remind people that it's Christiain theology that speaks of a creator/creature distinction... and that no other metaphysics makes this as plain as the Bible does. This means that God created the world, but the world isn't god, neither is god resident within its physical structure.
It's because of this distinction (a distinctive of the Reformed tradition) that science is possible. This means that the world isn't holy (neither is any place in it) - that all that is holy is God and his word.

This being said we don't know the creation correctly if we ignore what God (through his prophets) has said about it. If you ignore the fact it was created by an Intelligent being you cannot be entirely correct about your conclusions when you do research. If you ignore the Fall you will go wrong in many areas of thought. If you ignore the distinction between man and animal you will fall into a swamp of errors. If you ignore the fact man was made in the image of god you will go horribly wrong in psychology and other related studies.

So called secular science is riddled with the errors and fallacies caused by ignoring basic Christian doctrines. (eg. Freudianism, Positivism, neuro-psychology, utopianism, etc.) In my opinion the best scientific method is one that operates within the boundaries of basic christian doctrines. The alternative to this isn't neutrality (an abstraction and phantasm) but engaging in scientific inquiry within the boundaries of materialism (with its inevitable descent into reductionism).

We continually see statements that insist 'religion' and 'science' be separated. What these vague statements really mean is that Christianity and science must be separated. The pretense is that 'science' (scientists) is free from metaphysical presuppositions. This is a naive claim at best, and can only be considered bogus when uttered by most people, as they assuredly know better. What it ends up meaning is that the atheist (etc.) can operate in terms of his metaphysics, but the christian cannot. [2.]

Summary; Atheists and others talk about the necessity of separating religion and science, but this claim is based on a confusion in terms. Since religion is an obsolete term, let's use the term worldview instead. Does it make any sense to say we must separate worldviews and science? Should a person be required to set aside their worldview when doing science? Is this even possible?

Notes;
1. Darwin's God - Cornelius Hunter/p.147
2. In a democracy this is an unfair situation. If people want to operate this way with their own money fine; but if we're talking about tax dollars, atheists (materialists) have no business claiming Christians should be banned from the scientific establishment or process. (i.e. if they're paying into they have as much right as anyone else to a place within the system.)
3. I don't think you can separate 'religion' and 'science' anymore than you can separate man into body and soul.
