Olog-hai:
"In other words, the “scientific community” admits that it has thrown away the scientific method." Nonsense, the scientific method is all about proposing and testing hypotheses concerning natural processes.
Making distinctions like "historical" and "observational" science is the work of anti-science folks like yourself.
“Concerning natural processes” is fine to say (not without defining same, however—such is strictly within the bounds of observation, so please see the
definition of the phrase), but conjecture does not make for good science (or science at all) and by definition has to be excluded.
It is only anti-science people that try to disguise conjecture as science.
