Au contraire, mon ami, science and theology were good companions until the contrived modern-day split.

I agree it's a cop-out, the de-finition, because it suggests we are not capable of the how, where or when of God while Buddhist or Sufi processes, many of them devotional, can remove the veils or obscurations to understanding. Christ fasting in the desert is an example of following a process for removing obscuration.
