Science long ago embraced empiricism and adopted the scientific method. If you want to change that, you should have something equally rigourous and objective to replace it with.

>> equally rigourous and objective

A fallacy right there. Science is quite political and subjective — not to say all its practitioners are primarily motivated by politics and subjectivity.

And yet here you are, making a philosophical statement about science, not an empirical statement of science.

Just sayin.
