For example, "nature" is referred to, as if it's nothing to do with God. But in the fantasy world there is no "nature", there is God's systems. This is why the alternate version is needed, to excuse the shortcomings of the fantasy world and lay blame somewhere else.
Ah but does subscribing to the science version for empirical purposes constrain anyone from subscribing to other versions for explaining matters of the heart including existential longings? There is an underlying assumption that nothing but science is or should be necessary for any human need. The thought that anything else but science is always only a mistake is itself mistaken. I call that a domain error. Science only applies to the empirical but humans do not fall wholly in the empirical world - in my view.
