Why Methodological Naturalism?

The Christian doctrine includes the term transcendent as an attribute of God.

In religious studies we define transcendence as independence from the material world and existence in a realm beyond all physical laws known to science. That would surely suggest that a transcendent deity would not readily be subject to the scientific method. (I sometimes have to remind my Christian brethren of this fundamental doctrine which they all claim to hold but sometimes forget.)
