Although it originated with God, Sir Francis Bacon (1219-1294) introduced a scientific method for the methodical observation of facts as a means of studying and interpreting natural phenomena as well as other areas (logic, math, physics, and moral philosophy).

Remember this phrase.

BEFORE answering a matter, gather ALL the facts; CAREFULLY OBSERVING the details making only NECESSARY inferences and conclusions.

INDUCTIVE: In logic, induction refers specifically to “inference of a generalized conclusion from particular instances.” In other words, it means forming a generalization based on what is known or observed. Gathering ALL facts before answering. (cf. Pr 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.) No interpretation of any fact can be true which does not harmonize with all other known facts. 

INDUCTIVE Reasoning in Scripture:

Used by Jesus; (Luke 24:25-27)

Used by the Apostles in Acts 15 in answering the matter of circumcision. They didn’t make the doctrine, they reasoned from the facts revealed by God.
