That’s actually a very interesting question. The scientific method isn’t foolproof, but it’s the best we’ve got. Science is applying fundamental philosophy onto learning about reality.

There are plenty of alternative ways of learning about the universe, and I’m sure you employ many of them as you go about your daily life, because it works in the most basic of cases.

The scientific method is a very specific way of learning about the falsifiable universe, but if there’s no way to disprove an assertion, then you can’t “science” it.

Of course, this is assuming the question is asked in good faith, because most of the time people are talking about science vs … they’re either pushing religion, or some sort of pseudo-scientific religion lite.
