Bill!,
Some of the body of Science -- the corpus, not the Method -- is pure
categorization, based on stringent and accumulated, vetted, observation.
Botany, for example. And some basics of Astronomy. Geology.
What's formed and what accumulates are lists of entities and their properties,
and how to tell them apart. No causality yet.
I think, at that level, observational science is more an Art, or act of careful
book-keeping, than it is yet Religion, or other endeavor dependent on Faith.
It's a fun stage of the game!, and it takes a lot of work.
