Other than parsimony, why do you believe that the physical universe exhausts the whole of reality?

What physical evidence justifies the scientific method as the only means by which someone can gain knowledge?

No, the physical universe might not exhaust the whole of reality as you put it, but if your claims include a god interacting with the physical universe then it is safe to assume that the claimed God should at least be partially observable within said physical universe.

Also no scientific method isn't the only way to gain knowledge but it is the only way to ascertain and validate said knowledge against our observable reality.
