If God and the world are separate, made of different substances, then how do the two worlds, the God-world or God-substance and the material world of material substance, interact? Their interaction needs a mediator, but where is it? And then there is the question of the conversation of energy. The energy of the material world alone is conserved, always remains the same. But any interaction with the God world (as when God acts on this world with His creative power) would require exchange of energy involving a violation of energy conservation. It is this kind of argument, simple but elegant that keeps scientists from endorsing dualistic religious positions.
Obviously, science must accept
