Only a kook says there is 'no' evidence for anything, considering the
entire universe is available for your almost immediate inspection.
Only a deeply disturbed scientist without any spiritual awareness at all
would consider a rational debating partner a 'punching bag'. Do your

/wiki/Universality_%28dynamical_systems%29
In particular, we have a large body of spectroscopic data from distant
stars and galaxies, all indicating the universality of physical laws.
Nowadays the existence of intelligent aliens is a given.
Whole paradigms have passed you by, it seems.
