That's the other contentious issue right now. The Ex-Mormon who is also participating gave her an example of how the scientific method can be used to test why a remote control isn't working and she responded by saying that it wasn't an example of the scientific method because (I paraphrase) "you're not learning anything new from that experiment, nor are you adding to the body of science", and then carries on in her next email about how she's "casually" using the scientific method to prove her god is true/real in exactly the same way she previously said you couldn't use the scientific method.

That's what you think.
She's talking out of both sides of her mouth with her above-bolded statement; in a previous email she said quite plainly that she believes in intelligent design and that she doesn't accept evolution because she doesn't think that's how God did it. Now she's trying to have her cake and eat it, too. And I'm gonna call her on it.
