The two are linked: a conclusion reached through an ineffective method is no more scientific than a solid method being used to reach an untenable conclusion. What qualifies as science is a demonstrable, falsifiable conclusion, reached via a fact-based and repeatable methodology.
Ineffective methods and untenable conclusions are the hallmarks of the intelligent design movement, though, so I see where you might be having trouble. Your side hasn't yet figured out that you need both, you can't just use one as a veneer of respectability over your lack of the other.
