No, you must first make an observation (eye witness), and from there you form your hypothesis and test it, and eventually come to your conclusion. that's how the scientific method works.
The initial observation is the evidence needed to form a question.
get it?
No, you can't have evidence to form a question, that's nonsensical. YOu record observations, and form a question that requires evidence to conclude. That's how hypotheses are proven wrong, because they aren't supported by evidence.
Additionally, you're conflating observations and claims. Scientific observations are recordings of events or data points, which are then investigated to find the cause of the observation. Your faith healing/God-creator/etc claims are claiming an explanation right off the bat.
