I just don't understand if you are talking about a lack of answers because things like ethics could be considered up for discussion, which still puts it in the court of philosophy (and biology).
Or are we talking about the paranormal? Things that just aren't real?

I assume you're speaking to Repug, but that is a very interesting question; that being said, how is "human knowledge" acquired? Ultimately, it always comes back to biology or physical science. Just because words are a construct created in the mind, and crystallized in speech, writing, etc, doesn't mean they don't have a scientific background.
I reckon Repug probably views science as something cold and calculating, like a speculum. Gets the job done but certainly doesn't leave you fulfilled.
That being said, I don't think Repug is interested in learning hard science, or the "magic" that can go along with it, if it's not written with some kind of philosophical swing behind it.
