Creationists like to take the middle-school definition of the scientific method and read it utterly literally to claim that a lot of science is in fact not "proper" science, because it doesn't fit the cookie-cutter definition of a scientific experiment as we learned in 8th grade. This is, of course, woefully wrong. Evolution is not based in "Faith," but is a legitimate scientific theory in a way that creationism is not.

YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.
