The Importance of Methodological Naturalism in Science

Do you think most practicing scientists in the West are aware of this important distinction? And if they are, are they cautious about crossing over from naturalism to metaphysical naturalism in their work. That's an excellent question. I don't know the answer, but I'll just give a few indications of my interaction with academics. Firstly, I think the vast majority of academics are not interested in these types of discussions. They really don't have a dog in this fight.
