Assertion. False Equivalency. Some ways of thinking will get you eaten by tigers, others are less likely to.
The scientific method is WHAT CONSCIOUS BEINGS DO when they're creating a model of reality in their head. Collect Data -> Form Hypothesis, Create Model-> Collect more data->modify model. If model can't explain data with modification, toss model out, new model.
Creatures that don't do that don't tend to do well. If data is discarded because it doesn't fit what an ancient text says, it is not going to go well. Even the Dalai Lama gets that.
