Theistic realism asserts that science, by relying upon methodological naturalism, demands an a priori adoption of a naturalistic philosophy that wrongly dismisses out of hand any explanation that contains a supernatural cause.

Theistic science, also referred to as theistic realism, Augustinian science or Islamic science is the viewpoint that methodological naturalism should be replaced by a philosophy of science that is informed by supernatural revelation and / or allows occasional supernatural explanations, particularly in topics that impact theology, for example evolution.

Theistic realism relies on a concept of God which involves that He is real, personal, and acting in the world through mechanistic creationism.
