Evidence-Based Spirituality, also known as Scientific Spirituality, Evidence-Based Spiritualism and Scientific Spiritualism, is a form of spirituality that seeks the development of a scientific approach on spirituality and the search for spiritual evidences for spirituality, it opposes the notion that evidences are only highly stringent, repeatable, double-blind, peer reviewed, materialism-compatible research, for all phenomena and it believes in "Different Methods for Different Domains" and in Epistemological Pluralism in order to study spiritual phenomena like Near-Death Experiences, Astral Projection, Mediumship, Out-of-body experiences, Spiritual phenomena, Spiritual experiences, spiritual healing, spirits, souls, consciousness, afterlife, extraphysics, extraphysical life, spiritual worlds, other dimensions and so on. Evidence-Based Spirituality also opposes the notions of scientism and neopositivism and it often uses the notions of extraphysicalism, extramaterialism, extranaturalism and spiritualicism for its studies and the separation of spiritual sciences from natural sciences where natural sciences cannot determine spiritual things and it's a thing that only spiritual sciences can actually determine.
"The notion of evidence-based spirituality might be really good in order to counter the material reductionism and the neopositivism inside the spiritual community and scientific community and the development of spiritual sciences and even lead into new discoveries related to spirituality and everything related to it."

President Trump offered mostly manecdotal evidence, but the media had learned their lesson well, by now, and dutifully recorded it all as fact.

The proof by lack of evidence fallacy is claiming something is true simply because nobody has yet given any evidence to the contrary.
Torturer: You are a heretic! You can't prove that you aren't one, so you are a heratic. Confess, or we will stretch your body out until you are a foot taller.
Accused: Ha, you did it - you committed the proof by lack of evidence fallacy!
Torturer: That's enough out of you. Brutus, give the wheel another turn.

Do you HAVE evidence to the contrary that you're just arbitrarily withholding? If you're arbitrarily withholding evidence that she's not being followed. What would you do if you had evidence she WAS being followed? I mean, you ran a rape-farm so I doubt it would be beyond you to lie. Would you 'Do what you thought was best?' If she was right? What excuse do you have not to tell her?
Dr. Rape Farm "Well, you know, I think it's best to, um, deflect to the peripheral elements of her life because THAT'S what I was trained to do. And if I'm wrong 1. I look stupid as fuck. 2. I would lose all of the money I make treating the misdiagnosis. Bet the psychological enterprise is TOO IMPORTANT for you acknowledge evidence to the contrary."

Shocking or damning evidence that has to the potential to fundamentally affect an outcome, but that the holder can't ever show you.
"He argued he had Carlson evidence proving he did not steal the petty cash from his employer, that he had copies of it, and it would clear his name, but he could never show it to anyone because the only copy was lost."

In an argument, when one refuses to make a simple search for evidence of their claim; however, they demand that the opposition does so. This creates a paradoxical position in which their belief is true and, when confronted with facts, either remains true or is discovered to be false.
In the event that it is discovered to be false, a second paradox often occurs in which the claim remains true by way of continuing to state it despite the evidence.

"Nobody has proven me wrong yet. Give me a source, I admit defeat. Don't, I stay right! Of course, I can obviously google for myself... but I have Schrödinger's evidence on my side!"
