It grinds my gears when people say that science can only do "so much". Sure, that is very true. It's because science is honest about its limitations.

That doesn't mean that you are free to just make up whatever crap you want when science "fails" by using your emotions and drugs and stuff. Well you can, but don't expect me to take you seriously.

These "other ways of knowing things" are utter bollocks in my opinion. Either you have some sort of method that you can demonstrate, or you expect us to rely completely on your personal experiences which we know are very unreliable.

Sorry, I'm a bitchy sceptic this morning Tongue

Yes, numbers and emotions "exist" as physical configurations of the brain. The brain can be scanned. We can gather evidence of people's emotions. Any sort of method is still scientific-esque and is acceptable today.
