Who put the objects there?
I say whatever it is, we should be interested in that.

Science does not "require objective knowledge". Science is a system of theories based on reproducible experiments and logical conclusions. Science always allows for doubt, and for replacing one theory with a new, better one. Science sometimes makes assumptions, but these are marked as such and always object of discussion.
But a scientist would never claim something like "objective knowledge" or "truth". If someone makes such claims he obviously is not a scientist but a snake-oil seller (or a preacher).

who is a question that pertains to consciousness If a consciousness put the objects there who created the consciousness that put the objects there and who created the consciousness that created the consciousness that put the objects there
objective knowledge pertains to a living consciousness of a certain nature that begins with sensory perception.The universe exists of objects that have a certain nature open to sensory perception. This is what science requires. www.aynrand.org

If you're so against science, why not abandon it totally -- along with all the progress it has brought into the lives of humans over the centuries. Stop taking medicine, stop bathing, stop using electricity, stop relying on the objects that have been developed thanks to science, and go back to growing your own wheat in the backyard using water collected in buckets from the creek out back and dung from your donkey to fertilize it.
Metaphysics might make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, but it will not put food on your table or get you to work on time in the morning.

Objective knowledge doesn't mean knowledge about objects. It means looking at something objectively rather than subjectively.
science, religion, philosophy etc are all interested in what put objects there... and even if they are actually there.

Scientists normally only use objective thought when it comes to God. It is humorous to think that those who claim to think about everything "realistically" are the same people who suggest that some sort of matter existed before any matter existed, and just so happened to explode in the most unusually perfect way. The ones who claim that those who believe in something so crazy as believing in God, are the same ones that know the complexity of the human body, the unbelievable capability of the human mind, and incredible order of nature and the undeniably massive and beautiful universe. It all fell into place so perfectly by chance. That is about as objective as my Christian beliefs I think.

Depends what the object is. But in most cases the answer might be natural processes.

I guess maybe the knowledge you speak of means of applicable laws,with a sense for conjuring.

So put god there?
Great argument - guess I'll have to renounce my godless ways, won't I?
Oh I see you think objective implies objects... OK well if you put a dictionary on your christmas list, maybe santa will bring you one, ok?
