It’s a claim that someone is making—Experimentation is merely refined and formal form of creating a process to ensure accuracy and replication/repetition of experiments otherwise anything can go without validity. But end goal is to make a claim—ie, come up with a theory that describes the underlying law of nature.
Revelation is a claim that a deity is making. If God appeared to you and told you there's a McDonald's on the other side of the moon, that's a revelation. Science is a method of uncovering such information on your own.
How do you know a deity is making the claim? Also, regardless of who makes the claim, it’s a claim nonetheless—ie, a claim describing certain reality.
At the end of the day it’s all about understanding and dealing with reality which allows us to survive.
