[Any picture you can weave by cobbling together unrelated quotes and citations to imply if not state a falsehood]
That's the scientific method.

Not really. It may be time to list a few points about science for those of religious mindset:

  1. The evidence can't be anything you want it to be, because the truth isn't just anything you want it to be. In fact, nothing was tailored because of your personal preferences or what church you attend.
  2. The writings of the historically important scientists aren't canonical; they're outdated. Corollary: scientists don't worship historical figures, even other important scientists.
  3. Nothing in nature is about your ability to misunderstand, or misconstrue, or wilfully ignore.
  4. Evolution involves variation and natural selection as an explanation for diversification of life on earth. It isn't cosmology, or political science, or a morality play.
That's a start. Perhaps my fellow evos can suggest a few others.
