In my view, the rigid, closed view of methodological naturalism is equal to philosophical naturalism. In other words, the view is not required by the normal practice of science. Many scientists, like Sean Carroll, don’t hold to it. It is a philosophical commitment that, while doing science, one cannot examine evidence that points to the supernatural. There’s nothing to stop such a person, while not doing science, to admit that God exists or that God raised Jesus from the dead.
