Scientism is faith in science (and its methods) as the only source of true knowledge about everything. When it comes to spiritual truth, scientism would say "Spiritual truth can't exist because science can't find it. Science is the ultimate judge!"
It's sort of hard to keep faith in scientism because human experience simply goes beyond material data. You'd have to kill your intuition to do it because humans overwhelmingly want their lives and relationships to mean something. We believe in genuine love and justice that are not reducible to physics and biology.
Scientists have opened the material universe and how it works to us, with incredible results that have blessed human life on earth (thank God). But some scientists have gone so far as to claim that science proves that God doesn't exist, and that's just not the case.
In fact, "The Scientific Evidence for God is Growing, Not Shrinking." One evidence for God is what we've found out about the universe, the subject of tomorrow's post.
