Physicalism is the so-called fact that is under consideration, since mental processes and properties do not fit neatly into the laws of physics. Our understanding of the physical universe rests upon the foundation of philosophy. Your idea that only physical evidence counts as evidence is a self imposed limitation.

Since physics has never at any time claimed to address mental processes I have no idea why would state the obvious.

The fact remains there has not been one identified mental thing or process independent of the physical brain and body.

No amount of mental masturbation on your part is going to make it otherwise. If you really want to play the game go conduct the research to find something which is independent. Sitting in front of a computer playing word games will never get you any farther than you are today which is a rather sad if not retarded position.
