whats most believable??

i think youre misunderstanding how the scientific method and progress of knowledge works.

the claim that science (empiricism) is our only method of gathering knowledge is true since empiricism is the only way to actually know something, and it applies to every aspect of the universe that humans is able to recognize.

making predictions is an aspect of the scientific method, but scientific knowledge still happens without predictions.

i understand the scientific method very well actually. (i have a bachelor of science degree in biology from the university of virginia.) i was simply pointing out that the scientific method is mostly limited to the study of measurable entities in the physical world. in this way, the relevancy of science in the "spiritual realm" concerning ghosts and the like is hardly reliable.

I acknowledge that the following is a sort of self fulfilling statement or whatever but Ill say it anyways:

Science is all encompassing and therefore through the scientific process everything can be explained. The scientific process does take time and therefore some things remain unexplained. However anything that science cannot explain because 'science is not applicable' simply does not exist, else science could in fact be applied and offer an explanation.
