That sounds pretty much like what Newton had in mind when he developed the scientific method, although I believe that he considered science another way of learning more about God. I don't believe that he though you could apply it to study God Himself, as you would his creation, but that through studying creation you could come to conclusions about God.

Good point, and far be it from me to think Newton was a dummy. I don't understand what some see as unreasonable about this idea. It's almost like some would prefer to make science the enemy of God, and it never has been.

It wasn't for a long time, and it is not inherently, but it sure has been hijacked for that use in recent times. (Dawkins, et al)
