Both Descartes and Bacon had their own step-by-step methods that were created before the scientific method. The idea of answering scientific or philosophical questions in an ordered way came from Bacon and Descartes and is the basis of the scientific method.
Francis Bacon's emphasis on inductive reason led him to be dubbed the "father of the scientific method", because the method relies on inductive reasoning. It is also reminiscent of Descartes' philosophical method, which outlines a way to solve problems through a series of steps.
Bacon believed that we gain knowledge through inductive method (from particular to general)
Decartes believed that we gain knowledge through deductive (from general to specific)
