####Scientists require testing and repeatability because they are trying to make their statements as objective as possible. You, on the other hand, embrace subjectivity as being not problematic in the least.####
But doesn't every scientist have to be subjective sometimes? Suppose there are two competing theories concerning a given observation.
Aren't Hawking's frequent atheist rants subjective? No one exorcises him from the science community for delivering these rants, even though he often delivers them as part of an otherwise scientific commentary.
"But doesn't every scientist have to be subjective sometimes? Suppose there are two competing theories concerning a given observation."
If there isn't enough information to make an objective choice between theories, then the issue is undecided by science. Scientists who do take sides are therefore doing so for extra-scientific reasons.
"Aren't Hawking's frequent atheist rants subjective?"
Yes.
"No one exorcises him from the science community for delivering these rants, even though he often delivers them as part of an otherwise scientific commentary."
Because his science statements are not of this nature.
