Quote by: Lullaby Chainer So, if a basic claim made by a religion is that the god in question affects the natural world.. science still does not encompass the search for this god?

True. It doesn't matter that some religion/all religions claim that their gods affect the natural world, there is no way to demonstrate that it is so. There is no evidence that a god exists except that people believe that it is true. By the same token, there is no evidence that some god does not exist. Since there is no evidence, science doesn't consider the matter.

A basic claim made by a religion has to do with how things were in the past. Archeology is a science, is it not?

It is. But like all other fields of science, it is the study of things that exist, specifically the remnants of past human habitation. It has nothing to do with the supernatural and there isn't any evidence that the actions of some god were involved. If that were true, then we should believe in Zeus and Athena.

No. I think that his point is that science doesn't know everything. Along the same lines is the book, The Edge of the Unknown: 101 Things You Don't Know About Science and No One Else Does Either by James Trefil. But of course, science never claims to know everything.
