Uh, you can't use self-existence. That's redundant. It will always be true and isn't a valid hypothesis.

Indeed, existence is absolutely predicated upon evidence! That's what I said! 

Your anology is ridiculous, the moment you were birthed someone witnessed that event, thus confirming your existence. Thus you exist. 

 

Again, it's the converse that is false:

In an event where genesis has no observer (the splitting of cells), the existence of a given cell does not rest on its observation, imho. So that cell not being observed doesn't equate to it not existing.
