"For he now thought that with all his life-long eagerness to reach an inner
circle he had chosen the wrong circle."
C.S. Lewis
"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust, avoiding profane and
vain babblings and oppositions of science falsely so called."
1 Timothy 6:20
"Reducing conscience to the mere result of conditioning processes is but one instance of reductionism. I would define reductionism as a pseudoscientific approach which disregards and ignores the humanness of phenomena by making them into mere epiphenomena, more specifically, by reducing them to subhuman phenomena. In fact, one could define reductionism as sub-humanism."

"Science cannot cope with reality in its multidimensionality but must deal with reality as if reality were unidimensional. However, a scientist should be aware of what he does, if for no other reason than to avoid the pitfall of reductionism."
....
"To be sure, man is free to answer the questions he is asked by life.
But this freedom must not be confounded with arbitrariness. It must
be interpreted in terms of responsibleness. Man is responsible for
giving the right answer to a question, for finding the true meaning of
a situation. And meaning is something to be found rather than to
be given, discovered rather than invented."
Viktor Frankl
"Enter in at the strait gate, for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,
that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in there, because strait is
the gate and narrow is the way which leads to life, and few there be that find it."
Matthew 7:13
"There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."
Proverbs 14:12
"A man who should undertake to inquire into everything for himself could devote
to each thing but little time and attention. His task would keep
his mind in perpetual unrest, which would prevent him from penetrating
to the depth of any truth or of making his mind adhere firmly to any conviction.
His intellect would be at once independent and powerless."
Alexis De Tocqueville
Some maintain they only believe in things for which they have material evidence. Of course this is impossible. It is not an issue of discarding authoritive epistemology, but rather one of making a value judgment about what authority you will accept. Further, such phrasing is disingenuous, for presenting one's accepted authoritive epistemology as being the product of one's own direct experience serves to so construct the issue as to make one's own value judgment superior and all others' inferior by definition.
