Science is not currently empiricist. I'd recommend David Deutsche's The Beginning of Infinity for a prolonged (and challenging) view of what has actually made science work so well. Empiricism was ultimately wrong, since our observations don't themselves explain anything. Science works because of good explanations, and sense-experience alone doesn't provide the explanations.

It still suffices when we want to know a bare fact, such as something existing in the world. If someone says there is a magic invisible entity who talks to them, but there is no empirical evidence they can bring to bear, it is reasonable to reject their claim. If they say merely that they love their wife, they are describing an internal emotion, a state of their own mind. I see no reason to challenge someone's account of the state of their own mind, even though they could of course be lying. If they say "I love God" I do believe they feel the emotion of love, but that doesn't mean that God actually exists outside of their mind.
