There are many different ways to support knowledge and many different systems which operate in different ways. It is very difficult or impossible to separate universal rules that define what is a valid way to know something and what it not which are valid in all circumstances.
The human experience is diverse an encompasses many models of epistemology and science. Some are more valid than others (e.g. physics is more valid than astrology). There is a lot of gray area and a lot of areas that are difficult to sort out. This is why science changes so quickly and old explanations are replaced with newer ones as well as newer ways of knowing.
