Not only does type-f theism not conflict with science, it can't conflict with science, since it doesn't overlap with science in any way.From what I've seen from the fr0d0-type ;-) he does not reject the idea that god should have explanatory power but he purports that god exists and at the same time is unknowable. There is some fundamental reason that we never can find evidence for his existence. The problem with that point of view is that such a god concept does not allow for any god attributes to be known to man. Still you will find him attributing all kind of stuff to his god. The concept is deeply incoherent.
