Oh yeah....using methodology proposed by Christians. It is nonsense for you to take the position that because one believes in God, science and the scientific method cannot be applied by them. And it is irrational to take the position that just because science provides naturalistic explanations of what we see and observe, that all can be explained that way.
It's also irrational to assume that someone confuses methodological naturalism with philosophical naturalism or supposes that theists can't apply the scientific method when his post pretty clearly does no such thing.
As for Christians proposing the scientific method, that's trivially true: yes, the method was developed in the West. But it is disingenuous to suggest that the Christians who developed the method did so by appealing to Christian principles.
