>> The point is that for *Christians* we are called upon to bear
witness to the truth, as we see it. It may be more popular to
accommodate to our prevailing materialist-naturalist scientific
culture, by "excluding divine causation" as "a `good' rule to follow
in science" (even origin science). But it might not be a good witness
to the truth.

100% agreement with sentence 1. But in philosophy, not in science.
In sentence 2, what counts is what works, not "popularity."
Our witness to the truth involves, as I see it, making sure
that people understand the limitations of science, and are able
to perceive when some of the practioners of the craft overstep the bounds.
