By now 2023, I believe it is common knowledge for any one who is rational to accept the above without doubts even given that Science has its own weaknesses and limitations.
When I claim scientific [also mathematics] facts are the most credible and reliable in terms of credibility, reliability & Objectivity to contrast to non-scientific facts, I am comparing the best of the best of their results.
To compare credibility we can use the following criteria to rate each field of knowledge, i.e. Framework and System of Knowledge [FSK].
The nine main characteristics of science are as follows:

- 1. Objectivity
2. Verifiability
3. Ethical Neutrality
4. Systematic Exploration
5. Reliability
6. Precision
7. Accuracy
8. Abstractness
To evaluate and compare the credibility, reliability and objectivity, we will prepare a proper format to list down all the relevant criteria with appropriate weightings.
The FSK that has the highest score would have the highest credibility, reliability, and objectivity.
I have not come across a prepared computation, but intuitively based on present knowledge and views, I predict Science [or mathematics] will come up as the top two.
Any one who disagrees with my prediction, name me which non-science FSKs that would have a higher degree of credibility, reliability and objectivity than Science or mathematics?
