What is Descartes’s “method of doubt,” what is it supposed to do, and how is it supposed to do it?

Per my understanding, Descartes main goal was to establish a science foundation of knowledge and trying to do what scientists didn’t seem to understand. For the scientists to understand he used method of doubt that allowed him to systematically doubt structure of knowledge, this method was intended to let Descartes come up with one unique way of knowledge. It is hard to sometimes to doubt the truth while he came up with the structure that gives us the knowledge that we need in our daily basis. The first thing that Descartes did was to doubt the information he gave

The proof that God exists premises that each of us understand the following clear and distinct idea of God. Descartes’s objective is to demonstrate that this idea can have no other cause than God.

Per the text the idea of corporeal things made Descartes believe that God exists by proofing things that are clear and distinct. Descartes believes that when he for example thinks a stone as a substance or a thing capable to exist that he believes that he is a thinking of non-extending things. Another example
