NOMA attempts a compromise between science and religion. Science should, according to NOMA inform how the world is, that means when scientific observations, contradict or appear to contradict the [[Bible]] or other “Sacred” texts the scientific findings should be accepted as accurate.

Fundamentalists do not accept that science can be correct in any area that contradicts their faith based position while liberal believers find NOMA prepared acceptable. NOMA also risks separating those scientists who accept NOMA from scientists who take research where the [[Scientific method]] leads even when this challenges some NOMA based positions. | ||
