It does. But my standard of evidence for supernatural claims like the ones in the Bible are much higher than for a claim that a powerful, rich, male celebrity took advantage of vulnerable women. For one, I know Bill Cosby exists...
So what evidence would be sufficient to learn that something exists? Do you think that bias effects your standards of evidence? There is no epistemological foundation for a shifting standard of evidence. Which is why I asked if evidence matters. What type of evidence would it take?
