Only if you confuse theology with science.

I will be the first to admit that science should not attempt
to introduce God into any of its experiments; it blows the whole of the
scientific method.  But by the same token, Science should not try to conduct
experiments with God.  Science is a useful tool, but it's not for everything.

Science, to some extent, can answer How, but not Why.
