Evidence v Conclusions

A recent T.O. topic illustrated a poster's failure to distinguish
between evidence and conclusions based on evidence.  My experience is
this is an especially common problem among pseudoskeptics.  To further
illustrate the point, the following is a recent X post aka Tweet from
a U.S. Congressperson:

************************************
God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent. 
Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come.
I pray that our country listens.
*************************************

Stipulating for argument's sake that natural events like earthquakes
and eclipses are evidence of God's displeasure, that would still be no
reasonable basis to conclude what to repent about.  ISTM as likely God
is pissed about willfully stupid people invoking God as a means of
virtue signaling.
