Sure, but that's why metaphysics and epistemology aren't considered sciences.

You wall off the non-falsifiable stuff in a box labeled "not science" and focus on the stuff that is falsifiable.



To do so is to take on metaphysical and epistemological positions inherently.

That is not necessarily a bad thing.

It's something that human consciousness seemingly has to do.


Yes, but that's a limitation of humans.

Science doesn't care about which ones you pick. You can be doing science with any set of initial non-falsifiable assumptions that humans are capable of holding.
