No one can just make up bullshit and say that it is evidence for themselves and expect anyone to take them seriously.
If I were to say that my dining room table is evidence for me that the world is a giant tortoise, everyone of sense would be able to say that that is total bullshit nonsense.
Calling some random thing "evidence" does not make it evidence.

1The available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid

Notice, it is not for one specific person. The nature of evidence is the same for everyone. That does not mean that everyone has all of the same evidence; it means that what evidence is, is the same for everyone.
But my point is you don't know what I have experienced in my life to tell me that I'm just "making up BS."
You don't know what kind of "available body of facts or information" I have obtained in my life.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
