This is what I've been saying all along.
We can't think of any other way of being "reliable" because in our metaphysical view "reliable" is tautological with "science."
So by definition, we hold science to be the only possible reliable method.
"I dont know" does not mean "I believe there is no other method possible", other than in your strawmans world.
Stop misrepersenting everybody else. Several people have explicitly stated that they are open to any other method that is *reliable*. The fact that you arent able to present one is exclusively your problem.
