I once would agree with you that science "is only one way of knowing". Now, I am not so sure. That is to say, if science is redefined as the process of inquiry, then by nature of living organisms - we can only understand through sensing, reflecting, intergrating and testing.
Intuition is only speculation. Knowing I would argue takes a test for verification. Then it becomes a looping process that is no different than science? Or, maybe not?
p.s. - did you go to EMS?
