The Judeo-Christian tradition is perfectly compatible, and actually quite congruent, with the scientific method. What is not compatible or congruent with the scientific method is presupposition of supernaturalistic means to explain physical phenomena.

And right there you have left the realm of scientific inquiry and dived head first into the philosophical.

IOW, Christianity is compatible with science if it's done on your terms.

Science is only science if it is done scientifically. Those are not my terms. One cannot play checkers and insist to the world that it is chess. Chess has its own rules.

Presupposition of supernatural means to explain physical phenomena is not now and never will be “science”.

Because such supernatural means are capricious, unpredictable and non-replicable - such supposition will lead nowhere as far as further discovery and useful applications.

However physical means are understandable, predictable and replicable - and so such a system leads to reliable and useful knowledge about the physical world.

That is why Science is of use and Creationism is useless.

That hot steamy pond of primordial soup, wherein one single cell out of nowhere, got so ‘hot’ it reproduced itself is nothing short of a ‘miracle’.... But since this fundamental foundation of evolution can not be tested let alone verified it has been walled off into some dark secret place.

All the obsession over ‘flesh’ bodies and dreaming up ‘scientists’ methodologies won't even give some of these with so called power of knowledge passing test scores for pre-school training, when time comes to exist in the original form of ‘spirit’ bodies.

AMD seems to think, or is misrepresenting, that creationists believe that supernatural activity is still going on and that this supernatural activity is how we explain observable phenomenon.

Regardless of which of the above it is, he’s wrong (or dishonest). After the 6 days of creation, supernatural activity in creation ceased and everything began following its natural rules. As a matter of fact, Western, non-muslim “science” DEPENDS on this consistency in nature in order to function.
