Christians do it all the time. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 How else could they fall into the QAnon Conspiracy Theory. They have applied it to the 2020 election result believing that the election was rigged in the absence of any proof. In one sentence, faith is converted into evidence. It could justify anything for people who are conditioned to take things by faith alone.
