Scientific and religious universes of discourse
TLDR
This paper argued that scientific and religious statements belong to different universes of discourse, and that scientific statements are not admissible into religious discourse and scientific statements do not belong to religious discourse, by analyzing the logic implicit in these two kinds of statements.Abstract:

This separation of discourse into universes of discourse is based on validity conventions which legislate different kinds of truth criteria for statements in different universes.read more
