from a blog with a lot of atheism motivational posters.
Question: We know this is part-parody, but does this view accord with reality, or does it represent a grave distortion of both history and the philosophy of science?

Outline from the Soul of Science by Nancy Pearcey and Charles Thaxton (note, some of these headings are theirs, others are my attempt to sum up thoughts contained in the opening chapter.
The Bible teaches Nature is real
God made it Good.
Nature is Good, but it is not a god.
God is rational, His creation is orderly.
Natural law flows naturally from the conviction that God is the Divine Legistator
the Creation of the world "Ex Nihilo" suggest that God alone has absolute, or final control over nature.
The World itself is not necessary, The World is contingent.
God is free
God created us as personal and rational beings.
The Creation Mandate gives man certain authority to exercise constrained dominion over nature
Science, proper used, unleashes "obedience."
We are commanded to Love God , and to do all things to his glory
We are commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves, which may take the form of improving his
condition.
