That is another way of saying non existent.
Already addressed why this is not so.

Your real conundrum will be that your sole source of knowledge, science, presupposes logic, mathematics, and philosophy. If it presupposes them, where did they come from? If you say science somehow validates them, that would be question-begging. Even if you can't figure that out, the fact that science says they exists give us a clear case for their independent existence.
The scientific method is the only method that works without and indeed against pre-conceived ideas. that's largely what the scientific method is.
No one is criticizing the scientific method. It has its place along side other sources of information.
