The 'scientific method' is mostly a pop-culture myth. Mostly used to discrediting whatever views one does not like. There is value in predictability, but one must understand its limits. It's one thing to work with electrons and planetary systems. It's easy to be cocky about how successful physics is. But that is far from covering the whole of reality. Our minds, whether you believe that means your brain or soul or both, are much more complex than the hydrogen atom.
It's one thing to appreciate what Richard Feynman contributed to physics, an another to understand his behaviour in striptease clubs. It's one thing to explain black holes and stuff, and another to analyze the correlation between IQ and success, BIG FIVE personality traits, disgust, political views and biases and what not.
