If you mean "you need to have a materialist metaphysical frame for science to work" then I agree. Theists often adopt that frame while pursuing scientific inquiry just like a physicist might presume point masses for the purposes of some reasoning. But they still ask and answer scientific questions. In other words, it's extremely rewarding and useful to know how things work assuming no miracles. Just because you believe in miracles doesn't mean all the science is pointless.
