Superficially it seems as though science contradicts a creator. But the deterministic, value free nature of reality stems from the protestants' world view that separated god from the chain of actions that takes place in this cosmos putting him in the position as both the creator and the starter of this machine which is then driven by whatever the set of laws he blessed on it.Though it might seem obvious that there must be some laws that governs our cosmos, not every culture practiced this world view. In some cultures people saw cosmos as a highly disorganized whole and some even saw a living organism in it with which we must live in harmony. It's from the western mindset the ordered cosmos followed.</blockquote>
