Theology is a science, just not a natural science.
I don't believe theology follows the scientific method. If it undergoes the same peer-review and scrutiny process, then sure, call it a science, but as far as I'm aware it doesn't.
“The scientific method” is a method of study which applies to natural sciences, not Science in its broadest and historical sense. Theology is a science or a different kind (similar to Geometry).
No such distinction exists. All science deals with natural phenomena.
