No, it isn't. You might think it is, but the scientific method does not include a god. That might have been the thinking centuries ago, but it is not what science is now. That kind of thinking, from hundreds of years ago, that there is a god or that the movement of planets matters, is why frauds make money from astrology, numerology, and all sorts of wacky ideas that often lead to cults, some of them being a real threat to society.
