Reasonable Science, Reasonable Faith, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn
First Things - April 2007 – Cardinal Schonborn critiques modern sciences reduction of the study of nature to mechanical causes by highlighting the limitations inherent in the scientific method.

Yet the whole god-of-the-gaps problem turns on two peculiarly modern—and false—ideas. The first is that intelligence can operate only by extrinsic manipulation of preexisting, relatively passive things. But what if intelligence is in some sense “built in” to nature? What if the lawfulness of nature—a fact dismissed by modern minds in favor of “blind necessity”—is the most direct and obvious sign of the intelligence behind and “inside” it? The second is the univocal understanding of the notion of cause and the ambiguous concept of a law of nature. (Link to story)
