You have no standards, and the gospels are not "evidence". No scholar claims the gospels are "evidence".
Oh dear.......... stop you there.
Honestly, you should keep your posts accurate and brief, and then I might read more of them, but usually the very first sentences of yours are so ignorant that I don't bother reading the rest. The ABC of posting, BB. Accurate, brief and clear.
HJ scholars use the gospels as evidence, so no great claims are required. Actions before speeches, BB.
Evidence is all that which is presented to support any claim or case. It is then for readers and listeners all to decide about such presentations. All the HJ scholars use the gospels as evidence for whatever proposals or claims they may be making.
You're so bound up in your prejudices and prejudgements that I don't think you could approach the subject of HJ with any chance of a balanced verdict.
A large % of the claims and stories included in the gospels are either not true or wildly exaggerated. But there's a story there; it just takes a careful scrutiny and review of all in attempt to discover what might have occurred. Idiots standing on the sidelines and heckling are not HJ scholars, they're just idiots, BB.
Now which do you think you are?
