People by definition are not objective.
That's why science operates with a combination of physical evidence and peer review. Consensus is achieved by the testing of hypotheses by many individuals.
This is also why science has no relation to faith.
In any case I see you have started playing the "well, what is truth/reality/objectivity anyway" trick to derail any closer examination of your ideas.
Whatever "reality" constitutes, science can be seen to operate within it. If you get a life-threatening disease in this "reality" then medicine might just save your life in this "reality".
Arguing about the ultimate nature of reality doesn't change this!!
