I agree of course that science and religion are not "at each other's throats". However, there is one place where I think the SPOV is seen most clearly as a POV. This is when any account of a miracle, or other supernatural event, is presumed to be false, impossible, or to necessarily have a purely scientific explanation. The 'laws of science' are undoubtedly useful, and have produced lots of great things. Of course, people made some progress even when the leading 'scientists' of the day thought everything was made of just four elements. But to presume that everything supernatural is bunk, is imposing a scientific point of view in a way that many people think goes too far.
An example of a 'supernatural phenomenon' which is not 'bunk' would be welcome. :)
