Definition of natural philosophy:

> natural science, especially physical science

Physics at its core is philosophy, and its models, as sophisticated or complete as may be, can never be separated from an interpreter

Religion is also in great part philosophy, and both physics and religion similarly arise from a drive to understand the nature of the universe

All of these things intersect, and the article is about one of those points of intersection

Which angle you want to take is your own personal choice. But please don’t be so quick to dismiss others’ interest in probing at the fundamentals of the universe just because you don’t agree with the way they go about it
