With all respect, but who are you to say what can and cannot be evidence for me? Undecided

Your evidence is time specific.  You are probably in good health, reasonably financially secure, and have a load of material possessions.  But if you follow the normal course of life you will get old and decrepit, sick and ugly.  You will lose the ability to do normal things for yourself.  You may lose your home and material possessions.  You will lose people that you love and care about.  Your world will become smaller.  When you reach that point you may have a different view about the evidence that you now value.
