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.
I’m mostly talking about the principles and methodologies here. And less so, about making a case towards a particular conclusion.
I also think that you should probably look up what scientism is, because this makes no sense. You should be able to quickly find a number of articles that tell you why people are against it, and that it is not about being against science.
