Abstract
Many scientists sincerely feel that there is a serious conflict between scientific methodology involving ideas of natural cause and effect, repeatability and predictability, and the concept of a God who can overrule in nature and thus negate these ideas. This conflict is considered so serious that at times the statement is made that a scientist cannot pursue serious study in his discipline while believing in a God who can interfere with the course of nature. It is felt that the consistency and predictability of science disappear in the presence of an unpredictable God. This, no doubt, is part of the reason why some scientists reject the concept of God, while others define Him as an impersonal organizing force or entity. We would like to propose that this apparent conflict has a reasonable solution.
