I think it's kind of important to address the question which is most often leveled against creationists of all stripes: is there any place within science to consider supernatural causes or must science be strictly dedicated to methodological naturalism?

What do you think before I go spouting off my own thoughts?
(which, indeed, go all sorts of contradictory directions on this)
