The Times must be publishing a series about science and religion. Today’s edition has a piece by Cornelia Dean, "Scientists Speak Up on Mix of God and Science." Excerpt (paragraphing added):
Although they embrace religious faith, these scientists also embrace
science as it has been defined for centuries.That is, they look to the
natural world for explanations of what happens in the natural world and
they recognize that scientific ideas must be provisional – capable of
being overturned by evidence from experimentation and observation.This
belief in science sets them apart from those who endorse creationism or
its doctrinal cousin, intelligent design, both of which depend on the
existence of a supernatural force.
