They are not platitudes. You calling them that confirms my claim that you do not understand the concept of evidence.Why do you keep repeating these platitudes..
I often quote wiki .. isn't that good enough for you?
If not, what is???
To have evidence you need a valid argument. You only have an ad hoc explanation. You could put it in the form of a logical argument where you state your premises and their conclusion.. You could try to form a hypothesis, which means using a falsifiable idea and showing how that observation agrees with it. You cannot start with an unfalsifiable statement. When you do that you are only constructing the ad hoc explanation that I mentioned earlier.
