How does one scientifically demonstrate that the Revelation is "scientific
in its method?" I know of only two methods accepted by most scientists.
One is referred to as "the scientific method"; the other could be known as
"tracking" because it is used to study phenomena which cannot be controlled,
as in the study of the movements of heavenly bodies; and free people.

Subject: Re: The Baha'i Writings say...
This reminds me of a joke we say around these parts, when unable to cite a
source for a quote - it's attributed to the Kitab-i-Hearsay.
We don't take it seriously unless it's referenced and checked it ourselves

Read David Piff's Bahai Lore and then you can show and tell other Bahais

Guardian said the Faith was scientific in its method, so they should
either produce the evidence (citation from the writings) or stop
repeating statements they cannot justify, which is gossip and spreading
misinformation. Problem solved. Marleen
The Revelation proclaimed by Bahá'u'lláh, His followers believe, is
divine in origin, all-embracing in scope, broad in its outlook,
scientific in its method, humanitarian in its principles and dynamic in
the influence it exerts on the hearts and minds of men.
