Natural Sciences as Constraints on Ideas about the Divine

The sciences are very successful. The Periodic Table of Elements covers all of material existence. There is coherence across levels of reality. However, there are limit questions that cannot be answered by science, and worldviews are underdetermined by theories and data. Furthermore, our human practices and judgments are categorically different in kind. What are the implications of the natural sciences for views of reality and of the divine? It is argued that the sciences provide constraints on philosophical theology; much is excluded. But the sciences do not imply a single worldview or theology. A theist can emphasize divine transcendence, envisaging God as the creator of all of natural reality. A religious naturalist may appreciate natural reality as a reality with sacred depth. Different 'ontologies of the divine' may be consistent with the sciences.
