Naturalism Need Not Own Creation

I'm doing some reading on naturalism, and found these two quotes to be insightfully measured:

"Because God created an ordered universe marked by regularities, scientific inquiry can indeed go quite far, successfully, by concentrating its attention on 'natural laws,' mechanisms, and regularities. But it is easy to elevate these things to an autonomous status, that is, to turn God's created order into a brute given, to make it the ultimate reality. Indeed, it is possible, to use the blunt and unmistakable language of the prophets and the apostle Paul, to make an idol of nature." 
Paul Nelson and John Mark Reynolds writing in Three Views on Creation and Evolution

"I am concerned about the prevalence of the idea that science by definition excludes the supernatural. I think this is an unnecessary restriction that distorts the results one can obtain from an examination of the data of nature. If any supernatural events have taken place in the history of our universe (as I believe they have, from my study of the Bible and of nature), and if they have had any profound effect on the course of events in that history (as I also believe), then the insistence that science must always assume a natural explanation for every event means that science is no longer seeking to understand what really happened. This, to put it mildly, is devastating. Scientists, by profession, should be truth-seekers."
