A physician discussing medical acupuncture addressed the weak record that acupuncture held when it comes to placebo controlled double blind studies. He said that using the measurement techniques of Western science evaluate acupuncture was like measuring the performance of a work horse by putting him in the Kentucky Derby. The "scientific method" is man man made. It is not infallible.
Good point, and a point which all scientists assume. That's why replication of results is so important in the scientific method. In all probability everything man conceives is not infallible, including the concept of God, a notion of a creator and intelligent design.
Where is all of the universe? In your head.
The same is true of religions.
