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?
Sure theists can and do accept science, but where they go wrong is when they cherry pick or try to inject religion into a lab. In reality, scientific method is neutral, it is not there to prop up any religious sect or label or deity.
The theist when they admit they cannot inject religion into science will end up compartmentalizing pulling the "separate but equal" garbage.
The theist will accept science but only and up to the point it starts conflicting with their beliefs.
