If you cannot see, hear, smell, taste, or touch something then it cannot or probably doesn't exist. Any thing that is a priori, intuitive, metaphysical, etc. is automatically rejected. It's called logical empiricism. And if you knew anything at all about philosophy, you would know that ontology and teleology are indeed epistemologies (some consider them closely related but slightly different as related to their relation to knowledge) and methods of inquiry. They are not arguments, but ways of arguing and they are not restricted to arguments of religion and theology. And they can very easily be used in conjunction with empiricism to promote a broader understanding.
