Theistic science, also referred to as theistic realism,[1] is the pseudoscientific proposal that the central scientific method of requiring testability, known as methodological naturalism, should be replaced by a philosophy of science that allows occasional supernatural explanations which are inherently untestable.[2][3] Proponents propose supernatural explanations for topics raised by their theology, in particular evolution.[4]
Supporters of theistic realism or theistic science include intelligent design creationism proponents J. P. Moreland, Stephen C. Meyer[5][6] and Phillip E. Johnson.[1]
Instead of the relationship between religion and science being a dialogue, theistic science seeks to allow exceptions to the basic methods of science, and present miraculous interventions as a scientific explanation when a natural explanation has not been found. As Alvin Plantinga acknowledges, this is a "science stopper",[7] and these concepts lack any mainstream credence.[4]
