Instrumentalism
Instrumentalism views scientific method as a means to an end rather than itself able to reveal absolute truth.
The most well-known example is that of Copernicus's theory: the sun is the centre of our solar system and has Instrumental Value in that it is to be seen as a useful method of prediction certain astronomical events but is not in fact true - and therefore not in conflict with the Church.
