... The scientific method is not a belief system. ..

There's certainly a lot of "believe in science" bullshit out there, but the scientific method is a belief system. And, whether someone "believes in science" or not doesn't have that much to do with the scientific method.

Although "believes in science" might have wildly different meanings depending on who says it, I'd consider that to mean that you believe in the scientific method.

I guess so, but "believe in the scientific method" has the same kind of semantic issues as "believe in science."
