<< I would argue that the so-called "Baconian requirements" do not
adequately distinguish fact from theory.>>
I've already posted a response on Bacon, but in your original post you
actually said "theories have no place" under this view.
As you have lately asked Art, I'd like to see some creationist quotes that
really argue this way.
Inductivist science is not bereft of hypothesis or theory. It is actually
"pseudo-science" of the evolutionary stripe that fails to distinguish what is
fact and merely speculation. Phil Johnson's treatment of this issue is still
persuasive.
