I don't know any clearer indication that someone doesn't know what they're talking about than when they're using the word "scientism", like: "You know you constantly need evidence and I don't have anything against evidence just evidencism."
You are basically criticizing people for not seeing something that even you don't know they should supposed to see by means that even you don't know they were supposed to use. If you think there is something that we should see then discover it by yourself, including the means to do it.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
