There is lots of evidence for back holes. What's inside the event horizon is another matter. One thing for sure, Mathal, is that you need to understand the relativistic measurements are observer dependent!

You are confusing black holes with singularities, perhaps? There is lots of evidence for back holes. What's inside the event horizon is another matter.
