You are a disgrace to the scientific community when you make comments like that
The scientific community (or anybody who knows the first thing about science) would point out what is wrong with the comments - instead of throwing a tantrum when somebody disagrees with them.

OK Jar, you got me. You win!!
The great thing about this "game" is that you get to set your own winning conditions.
If I learn something, I win. If somebody learns something from me, I win - and it's a minor miracle . If I hear a good joke, I win. If somebody likes my jokes, I win.
There's no way to lose, really, unless you want to.

we must in some sense be above the evidence we examine....
We put ourselves "above" the evidence by comparing our observations with the observations of others. If an observation is "objective", in the sense that people with different worldviews agree, then it is a useful observation.
"Observations" of the supernatural are not useful because people with different worldviews "observe" the supernatural with different results.
