Belief in the scientific method as such a tool does not rule out faith in gods or God.

See, there is nothing wrong with Science. The problem lies when the Scientist tries to degrade and bemoan those who have faith in God, Metaphysics etc.
Again, they become as militant about their beliefs as militant religious people. It then becomes a question of blind faith. If you choose to believe Science can answer all questions and there is no God or Metaphysical because it cannot be proven and Science can prove a lot of those beliefs false... then you have a blind faith in Science.
I used this before. Someone jumps out of an airplane and falls 5,000 feet. His chute doesn't open and he hits the Earth but lives.
Now, the Scientist will try to say it's an anomaly and try hard to come up with reasons why the person isn't dead. The religious will say it was an act of God.
The problem is why one must try to prove the other wrong. Why not accept the other's belief and be secure enough in your own that you don't care what the other believes?
