1. The course of all scientific investigation & discovery is one of hypothesis and testing.
2. Investigations are qualitative: you can have good tests, & bad tests. Incomplete testing, poor testing, can still be a scientific investigation. One can engage in poor science.
3. Because one may engage in "bad" science, or use poor testing methodologies, does not mean that what they are doing is faith based or the opposite of science.
Listening tests and multiple experiences, are just one form of investigation. BETTER tests come about by combining many experiences, and many types of tests, including, (for example), accurate measurements derived from good measuring tools. Some tests are better than others.

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
