Hi Steve, I hope (don't believe) Mel isn't being as dogmatic as Gould in excluding the middle.
There is no reason why scientists cannot study religious phenomena any more that the religious cannot interpret the claims of science. The two still have to recognize that their perspectives and bases of belief may be quite different and conflicting even, but that's not the same as creating no-go areas for each other. In fact, the fact that their bases and world-views are conflicting suggests that neither is the fundamental view.
