"Science doesn't know everything."

Yes, but science is all about using whatever methods work to produce more new knowledge all the time. All the new knowledge we can produce with mechanisms that we know are actually trustworthy will eventually become part of science, and the only stuff that's ultimately going to get left out is information we can only generate through means we know aren't reliable at producing truth.
