Re: Scientific theory and scientific method: Are they applicable to God?
The analyzation/experimental/observation part is assumed to be true at #2 for the sake of your argument . . . . but your conclusion still fails.
Your newly reworded hypothesis has no relation to the conclusion you want to draw.
Recognizing design from complexity is different from assigning design to a designer to prove his existence which what is your earlier goal. Complexity is not necessarily design and design does not necessarily require a designer.

Experiment or Observation: Analyze the universe, planets, stars, earth, fundamental forces, cells, life, etc.
But what have I assumed? I simply state my intention in the experiment or observation phase of the method.

I cannot determine that the universe had a starting point, that fundamental forces can be harnessed and studied using the scientific method, that the earth is the only habitable planet in our solar system, that one cell has more information than a 1,000 volume encyclopedia (by the way information requires an intelligent mind), and that the human brain, heart, mind, and body are so complicated that there is no way that it could have just came into being on its own from inorganic matter?Well, you are wrong.
God is absolute and I believe that He created matter and life with the capability for study so that it could point us straight to Him (God and His omniscience does it again).

You can not test creationism.
But you can conduct extensive analysis of matter and life, and record their complexity and complicaton respectively. Thus, you can prove that matter and life did not arise by accident, or random chance, but is the product of an extremely wise, knowledgable, intelligent, and exceedingly powerful Designer.
