Why does ruling out a Creator LIMIT ones ability to understand nature???

Because you're ruling out the One that made it.
You don't know how to play a board game unless the company the makes it includes instructions, do you?
Same deal.

I can't see how it would limit ones ablility to understand nature. Nature still has the same forces acting on it even if you believe/don't believe. The real problem is believeing in a Creator and ruling out science. Or Believeing in science which would then prove a lack of a creator. Both sides are wrong. If someone wishes to not believe in God, it should be for good reasons, not evolution makes it so God can't exist. Also if someone wishes to think evolution never happened it should not be because God told them so.

No good biologist rules out a creator. Theories are theories because not all other possibilities can be ruled out.
The thing that makes a theory highly successful and most probably correct is the convergent research and physical evidence that supports it, from many different disciplines. Biology deals with the natural world, and a creator implies something supernatural--so belief or non-belief in the one (the supernatural) doesn't necessarily fall within the realm of the other (the natural). As long as the biologist remains objective about the natural world, it doesn't matter if he or she believes in a creator or rules one out.

The idea of a "creator" has nothing to do with the scientific fact of evolution. Evolution and natural selection stands firmly on scientific principles. Creators and creation stand on ... some form of belief. Two completely different non-related things, in my opinion.

Evolution doesnt necessarily cross out a creator, It just shows how this creator developped life (not created, developped). both evolution and a complex creator can exist at the same time

Science does not rule out a Creator.
Science will certainly change its theories to embrace a Creator as soon as any unmistakable direct evidence of one is found.

Creation occurs when energy bits explode
and interface with invisible forces known as
Laws Of Physics.
Time and space are merely by-products of
this reaction.
Evolution died a while back, when the center
of a gene turned out to be a vacuum.

sounds like a loaded question. ruling out implausible ideas is the ultimate goal of science, in order to understand to true underlying factors.

Evolution, if based it on Science and Creation if you believe that there is God.
