"I am mortal" and "I am immortal" are definitely two theories, and each of them can be supported or opposed by many types of evidence. Providing evidence against "you are immortal" is providing evidence for your mortality. I pointed to some such evidence in my other comment. If you do not accept this type of evidence, what is your definition of "legitimate evidence"?
