I never asserted that I would provide evidence. Additionally, I never offered anything as evidence. His statement assumes that I did or that it was insufficient.
To this point is is something that is on the table for consideration, but I'm not going to go in circles about something being evidence if it can't be viewed objectively. If not, there's no point to it, because it can simply be implied that the evidence wasn't acceptable. If it's defined ahead of time, then I have criteria for any evidence I would need to assert if I choose to.
Evidence consists of observations and experimental results that serve to support, refute, or modify a hypothesis or theory when collected and rationally scrutinized according to the scientific method. I think everyone here will agree that these are the criteria for determining if what you wish to present can be judged to be valid evidence.
Now, make your case.
