Theistic Sciences

A broad framework for conducting scientific inquiry within the explicit assumption that a God or gods exist. This doesn't mean twisting data, but allowing theistic explanations (like divine agency, purpose, or miracles) to be valid candidates within the interpretive model. It challenges methodological naturalism, arguing that if a creator is real, excluding that possibility a priori is bad science. To mainstream science, it's a category error; to proponents, it's a more complete form of inquiry.

Example: "Her paper in Theistic Sciences proposed a new model for abiogenesis that included 'guided quantum nucleation events' as a testable hypothesis for divine action at the quantum level. The journal's rejection letter simply said, 'This is not a scientific parameter.'"
