I'm really not sure what you are getting at. Psychology is pretty definitively a science. So is a massive chunk of medicine. Science holds extra weight because it involves at least attempting a verification step following an idea.
Treating science as gospel is stupid. But without personal experience (and frequently even with) stating something as true is largely meaningless. Stating something is true, while providing data to back it up, as well as evidence that other subject experts have checked that data may not be perfect, but that doesn't put it on equal footing with a gut check.
