Why do you think historians don't believe in Julius Caesar's divinity or the enslavement of the Jews in Egypt? Because there's no evidence to support those statements. Any statement that makes an assertion about reality needs evidence, or one is being unreasonable in believing it. Have you ever read a history book? Go look in the back at all the sources of evidence that are cited.
Or a court of law for that matter. Using Pooley logic the jurors can return a verdict of guilty or not guilty without listening to any evidence because it's not a scientific investigation. If Pooley logic was the standard by which the world worked then the police would be charging people all the time who then got convicted because their appearance upset the jurors.
