methodological naturalism

The philosophy that natural phenomena should be explained with naturalistic explanations when doing science.

In contrast with metaphysical naturalism, it does not commit one to ruling out the existence of the supernatural.
Science without methodological naturalism would accept astrology as a field of science.
