Science is a method for getting knowledge. We have other methods for getting knowledge too. All have their pros and cons.

An advantage of science is that it delivers knowledge of high quality.

An advantage of authority is that it is convenient.

An advantage of personal experience is that it is not limited to abstraction.

There are other advantages, no doubt. And other methods.

The subject under discussion is called Epistemology. The philosophy of knowledge.

It isn’t as scary as it sounds.
