Scientific method: using evidence and reason.

Any other method: making shit up.

Everyone uses the scientific method in almost everything they do, all the time. If you didn't you wouldn't be able to open a door, walk in a straight line, work out how much money you have, catch the bus... Etc etc. Imagine using "faith" for any of those things. It's just they revert to these "other methods" when they really want something to be true but there is no good reason to believe it actually is true.

The other methods are more flexible, you can prove literally anything you want. With no effort. Sadly, the results are worthless.

I agree with that. I don't think it's so easy to delineate between science and faith in practice. The stuff on the extemes is easy to classify, but there is alot in the middle between science and faith. I can sympathize with Drich, because he believes for reasons, and he has continually tested and refined his beliefs throughout his life. That's somewhat like science. It's different from somebody who believes simply because he/shee never bothered to think or question.

Of course, I probably don't understand some of the subtleties about the scientific method. Maybe there is a clearer difference if I understood better.
