I am going to invoke Dawkins here
Because I agree on the matter of God not being separate from science - especially considering when God is said to interfere with the natural world and operate by natural laws - and I think the following is a valid point:
'Richard Dawkins has criticized the NOMA principle on the grounds that religion does not, and cannot, steer clear of the material scientific matters that Gould considers outside religion's scope. Dawkins argues that "[a] universe with a supernatural presence would be a fundamentally and qualitatively different kind of universe from one without. [...] Religions make existence claims, and this means scientific claims." These "existence claims" include miracles such as the Catholic Assumption of Mary: whether Mary's body decayed when she died or was physically lifted to Heaven is a material fact, and thus outside the moral magisterium to which NOMA would limit religion. [50]'
From wikipedia on the NOMA (non-overlapping magisteria) part of the Stephen Jay Gould article.
I will also add on the side, on the matter of theology, a Dawkins quote in response to the Theologian Alister McGrath's book, Dawkins God :
Response from Dawkins
'In response to the book in general, and to the accusation of being ignorant of Christian theology in particular, Richard Dawkins stated:
“
Yes, I have, of course, met this point before. It sounds superficially fair. But it presupposes that there is something in Christian theology to be ignorant about. The entire thrust of my position is that Christian theology is a non-subject. [2]'
From the wikipedia article about McGrath's book - Dawkins' God.
