Abstract
I am neither a theologian nor a philosopher so I shall restrict my comments to several portions of Thorson's papers rather than the text as a whole. I believe that he has considered carefully many aspects of the topic of naturalism and has made a number of constructive proposals. As a biochemist/molecular biologist, the term naturalism had no particular significance to me throughout most of my forty-year research and teaching career. No particular naturalistic assumptions were necessary for that research, which had to meet current standards for valid biochemical research.
