Yes, of course. IMO science doesn't see teleology and normative aspects of reality because the assumptions of a rationally ordered universe and the efficacy of human reason are already in the background as a prerequisite to any scientific inquiry. Nevertheless, whether or not either of assumptions are real or only apparent and why are theological and philosophical questions about which IMHO reasonable people can disagree and epistemic humility is warranted.
You're wrong in point of fact, here. Even though science does see things x y and z...it still has no reason to assert pixies. Teleology and normativity are aspects of scientific studies, not absent quantities. They just don't have anything to do with gods.
Care to try again to explain why you reject a scientific understanding of the cosmos.including any existent god? Think about this for a second. Science only recognizes what has been called a natural teleology, because that's all it sees and all that's required - but you, and not science, are the one in the position of denying such a teleology as a matter of course. No biologist will hesitate to explain to you the purpose of a given adaptation.
