Yes, that does mean scientific! If you have only "spiritual knowledge", you don't actually know anything as fact outside of your own experience, such so-called knowledge is nothing more than personal experience. Therefore, there is no "scientific knowledge vs. spiritual knowledge", there is only scientific knowledge vs. experience which is personal (exclusively within the believer's own mind), or anecdotal, but not of an empirical nature.
If I tell you I know that I had chicken for lunch yesterday, is that really scientific knowledge? Or not knowledge?

Chad this is me backing up Irrational in challenging the notion that knowledge always requires radical empiricism.
