It sounds like the problem is you don't know what science is. Most people who are spout comments like that are doing so because they fundamentally have failed to understand its purpose.

Science isn't about feelings or stories it's about provable fact. It's about going in and explaining the basic fundamental level how how a particular phenomenon works.

Science can explain at a molecular level how an antibiotic works, it can explain the atom by atom interactions. Can a crystal healer explain how a lump of quartz is supposed to help?

    having to talk to someone who can't explain at a molecular level how an antibiotic works sounds like the worst torture imaginable, to a scientist

    Imagine you said something absurd, then they took the time to carefully explain what's wrong with it, and then you refused to even try to understand their point.

    Now imagine doing that to a scientist for eternity.
