Legitimate epistemological observation, but unsound argument on top of it.

Its central mistake is conflating the impossibility of absolute certainty with the existence of equally legitimate explanations.

I'm definitely not trying to claim that evolution and creation are equally legitimate explanations. There are so many bizarre things that require ridiculous explanations from creationists (like the devil intentionally creating a misleading fossil record to trick humans). That's the point I was trying to make with the planets example in a less loaded way.
