Meyer does think that NOMA is partly true in the sense that some domains of science are metaphysically neutral and do not conflict with religion at all. But Meyer does also believe that there are other scientific questions that coincide with what religion believes. If naturistic models are correct on how the world came to exist, then theism and creation would be completely unnecessary. In these instances when worldviews are at stake, it is impossible to
