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 doesn't matter at all who developed the methodology, though I think you're giving the Greeks sort shrift.
It seems to be nonsense that you think that is Crossless2.0's position. I'm pretty sure he or she never claimed that theists can't apply the scientific method. On what do you base this accusation that this is his or her position?
The position is that if it can't be determined by observation, reason, and scientific methodology, it remains unknown. What is so irrational about that?
My apologies Crossless2.0. Brian was putting out so many posts I thought it was him and was going with what Brian appeared to be saying. I realize that you just came into the discussion so I would have no basis for saying that of you. It was my mistake.
And, thanks, Mr. Agenda, for pointing that out!
As to your last sentence, nothing is irrational about that. I don't think that is Brian's position, though, and that is who I was addressing (or trying to).

And where did I say or imply this?
