Where you are coming from...
From your post, it seems to me that you are coming here with a need to denigrate those sciences with whose conclusions you disagree for religious reasons.
I would think that any endeavor that approached its data using the scientific method could be termed scientific. This does include many of the "soft" sciences as well as the "hard" sciences which are traditionally accepted by creationists. And if the method is the same in both, what exactly is it you are disagreeing with if not the conclusions?
Your point that experts and authorities should recognize their limitations is well taken, however.
But given that, are you really advocating throwing out all the accumulated data, accomplishments, and theories that went into evolution? Is there nothing within that large field, and its various subdisciplines, that you are willing to accept?

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
