Ok, what other way is there to attain knowledge? Listen to some guy who claims that God told him some divine truth?

Epistemology is the study of knowledge, and philosophers from ancient greece until the present day have discussed the various methods of knowing. The idea that scientific inquiry is the sole method of ALL knowledge is a distortion of true reason, one that has only arisen in the last few centuries. Science, by definition, can only study reality that is directly observable. I certainly agree that it is a very powerful and accurate method, but it is not the only one.

Faith is another method for having knowledge. The discussion of what faith is too large for this post, so I direct you to "Faith and Reason" by John Paul II (not for the faint of heart): http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_15101998_fides-et-ratio_en.html

Faith and science, if considered correctly, will NOT contradict each other, because truth is truth no matter how you find it.
