Ultimately, the problem is that if you're viewing something with a preconceived narrative of what the answer will be, you'll skew all evidence that you see. This is why it's so important to base worldviews on evidence, else we shape the evidence to our worldview, and fail at discovering reality.
I too think its important to base my worldview on evidence. Not the evidence gathered by doing lab experiments or making models of supposed reality, but the evidence gained from patiently studying nature directly.
