Um no, scientific method is a tool, and no, it is not set in clay, it is a process that leads us to new discoveries. It is why we drive cars now instead of riding horses. It is why we got to the moon. It is why we have flu vaccines and make new ones every year, because scientific method teaches the user to go where the evidence leads and adapt to changing data.
Yes it is an appeal, to FACTS and data, but so what. It is not a religion and is not there to cling to the mythologies of antiquity. If it were not for science we'd still be living in the stone age.
There is a huge difference to appealing with reason. logic, and scientific method, and what theists do by saying "my religion has pretty stories in it", yea and so what, they all have pretty stories in them. I can also find pretty stories in Charlotte's Web and Harry Potter without literally believing them to be true.
