To sevry, snarks_when_bored, annalex and other posters in the evolution / creation science / intelligent design threads.

Here is a link to a good discussion of the scientific method:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method

When discussing scientific methods, it is best to be aware of these guidelines. When discussing religion and particular beliefs, other guidelines will, of course, apply.

Many of the problems on these threads occur when people intermingle, or ignore, the two different approaches in their efforts to convert others to their positions.

Creation science / intelligent design adherents often pervert the scientific method (whether out of ignorance or deliberate intent does not matter) in an effort to discredit evolution as a theory because this is what they believe.

On the other hand, scientists and those who follow this line of reasoning really should study and adhere to the scientific method. A little study of the scientific method, even as a refresher course, is never time wasted.

The many people who enjoy this forum, from all viewpoints, will thank you!
