That's the thing, there is no one "scientific method", and the point of science is to get as far away from dogma as possible, because dogma is very problematic (as I described in my previous comment). I decided to find you an article I'd read before. It's behind a paywall so I copied it here.

Just as there can be intolerance to intolerance, absolute beliefs should also be held in disregard.
