I think that every person who thinks atoms exist should click on "That there must be more to life than meets the eye". We know very well that there are things we can't see, but that doesn't stop us exploring them.

"More than meets the eye" is a common colloquialism. It was intended to be interpreted as more than we can deduce through measurement and reasoning..."

the thing about repeatable experiments isn't that they can be repeated on demand. but that if you do the experiment again you get the same results.

Unfortunately both these statements still fall short of understanding certain aspects of contemporary scientific knowledge. 100 years ago they would have been an accurate portrayal of scientific methodology, but occidental scientific epistemologies have advanced since then.
For example dynamical systems theory works with qualitative analysis - that is understanding probabilities of non-linear and chaotic systems based on mapping the microstructure of a system's phase portrait. Working with probability indicates the application of a methodology within scientific study within which a repeated experiment is expected to give (often wildly) different results.
The argument that scientific knowledge ought to be purely inductive and logical was made by philosopher of science Karl Popper last century... It has largely been torn to pieces by both philosophers and scientists since.
Part of the reason for this is the advances in technology in the last quarter of the 20th century, whereby computer simulations became a resource increasingly employed as a tool for the generation of scientific knowledge.
For example, climate sensitivity models enable climatologists to make predictions as to the continued effects of Anthropogenic Climate Change based on simulations. While the changes seen in the world thus far can be recorded, measured and analysed, predictions for the future cannot - so simulations, which incorporate nonlinearities (feedback loops) are deployed under the banner of scientific knowledge.
Presenting outdated mechanistic and linear models of causality - whereby scientific knowledge equates certainty and repeatability - does a fine job of presenting 'mysticism' with a conclusively winning argument in this debate - ironically by referring to the decidedly un-mystical practices of contemporary scientific study.

and what do you suggest we use as an alternative to logic? as far as i can see without logic the world decends into madness without logic the following statement is valid for example.
a monkey/a set of bagpipes = 6
