Theology is a science.

My undergraduate degree is in political science. Does that make me a scientist, too?

:sigh: a scientist of politics, yes. a science is simply a study, and a scientist is simply one who studies. your science does not relate to this chemical/biological science that is being discussed however.

a Theologist is one who studies God or other Ultimate Wills, though typically it is the Judeo-Chritian God that is most accepted, as "Theo" means roughly "One most in charge"... note the "One"

No, but it may give you an understanding of theology and what it's about.

If the scientific method is applied to a set of facts, then it is science. Theology is a science.
