Giving or procuring evidence is the process of using those things that are either (a) presumed to be true, or (b) were themselves proven via evidence, to demonstrate an assertion's truth. Evidence is the currency by which one fulfills the burden of proof. Many issues surround evidence, making it the subject of much discussion and disagreement. In addition to its subtlety, evidence plays an important role in many academic disciplines, including science and law, adding to the discourse surrounding it. An important distinction in the field of evidence is that between circumstantial evidence and direct evidence, or evidence that suggests truth as opposed to evidence that directly proves truth. Many have seen this line to be less-than-clear and significant arguments have arisen over the difference. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What valid evidence needs to be provided to convince you? Q. Two questions directed towards an Atheist and Religious. To the Atheist: What evidence needs to be provided to prove to you a "God' exists? To the Religious: What evidence needs to be provided to prove that your God or Gods do NOT exist? Asked by Da X-man - Tue Mar 31 00:35:19 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. You can't prove that something does not exist. If a god was omnipotent, then he/she/it could just hide in a corner for all eternity and be completely undetectable by any scientific experiment. That's not a very interesting sort of god, but there is no way you can prove that there isn't one, or even an infinite number of them. To prove that a god does exist: 1 Define exactly what you mean by "a god". 2 Construct a logical argument that shows there is some phenomenon that can only be explained by the existence of that god. 3 Devise an experiment to demonstrate the phenomenon exists 4 Do the experiment. As far as I know, so far nobody has successfully done step 1. Step 2 is probably logically impossible, since it's hard to imagine… [cont.] Answered by Rob T - Tue Mar 31 08:20:13 2009 Is there only 1 definition of evidence or does the word evidence mean different things to different people? Q. Somebody just implied that I have a different definition of evidence than religious people, but how can this be true; how can there be different definitions of evidence? I can see how some people can have differing standards of evidence and atheists, scientists and courts of law demand a higher standard of evidence than religious people, but ultimately, it s the same definition of evidence, isn t it? Religious people just believe first then look for evidence and this is a very bad way to verify the truth, but it doesn t mean that they have a different definition of evidence than I do, does it?

If you work hard at it you can convince anyone that a red apple is green, they will come to see it that way and defend their vision actively against all other opinions. Answered by nikola333 - Tue Jan 26 19:58:37 2010 What is the evidence that all aspects of evolution can be explained by classical physics alone?
Q. Here, I consider the family tree and all relevant random variables associated with natural events as a random experiment. Let us assume fixed initial condition. Clearly, the actual probabilities in this random experiment are uniquely determined by the laws of nature. The fact that we cannot compute them because it is a complex system is irrelevant here. However, what laws of nature must be used is an open question. Someone must provide evidence to support any claim at this level. The question is what is the evidence that quantum mechanics is not needed to explain this random experiment, that is, to explain the probability of the events (apparition of a specie in a given period of time, etc) in the family tree. John M: There are so… [cont.] Asked by abc - Wed Aug 22 16:08:24 2007 - - 5 Answers - 7 Comments A. It isn't true. The chemical properties of matter are a quantum-mechanical effect, and since evolution depends on chemical effects, classical physics is inadequate. Postscript: The first responder hasn't been paying attention; evolution is a proven fact.
