-'''The three main perspectives on science''' are all related to the main [[school]]s of thought concerning the [[philosophy]] of [[science]]. The [[theological]] perspective takes faith in [[God]] as paramount, rejecting any scientific finding which rejects revelation, scripture or interpretation. On the opposite end is the [[atheist]]ic or [[materialistic]] perspective, which rejects all possibility of supernatural causation. The middle ground is held by those who exalt God and religious [[faith]], while respecting any scientific discovery backed by actual evidence.
+Science is science, not religion.
-In the [[origins debate]], the tendency is for the left (atheistic) and right (fundamentalist) wings to dismiss the middle ground. Materialists, employing [[methodological naturalism]], lump all competing ideas together as "[[Creationism]]", including [[Intelligent Design Theory]]. The [[Young Earth Creationist]] view sees [[naturalistic evolution]] as its main opponent and emphasizes [[Creation Science]] while tending to ignore the prospect of an alliance with design theorists.
