That's the problem with religion, isn't it? The question of who are the known experts and how do you know it? In other fields when experts disagree, we have real world experiments and tests to help determine who is right - what is the test in religion?
Do you consider any of the humanities knowledge? Not all forms of knowledge can be isolated under controlled conditions. Only the narrow-minded would make experimental verification a requirement of knowledge. People can reason from general experience to gain knowledge about the nature of reality and the absolute principles that govern it. If particular experiences appear to violate the deduced absolutes then further inquiry is justified. This applies to everything, holy writ included.

But not a good one. Are you even capable of making value judgments? Black and white thinking is a sign of borderline personallity disorder. You might want to get that checked.
