There's one of your beliefs: that there is an "objective reality". I believe in a shared reality, and that each individual has their own subjective reality too. Everyone has their own experience of an event, and their own inner world (dreams, imagined experiences, etc).
I would also posit that there is no one "Science". Science is a process. Every individual who investigates the world forms their own conception of what has already been discovered, and what is worth investigating. 'Scientific Consensus' is an agreement about what good scientists are to believe. Simple matters are easy to form a consensus about; complex matters are still under discussion.
