Evidence should be questioned and verified, and other potential sources shouldn't be ignored, but should be subject to the same scrutiny. However, you seem to ignore evidence that doesn't agree with your story in favor of "other potential sources" that you agree with, and never question or double-check these other sources. In the end you don't understand the quote." 'Evidence' is not always what it's cracked up to be. As the saying goes "Absence of evidence, is NOT evidence of absence". Evidence is subject to interpretation, evidence can be manipulated. It is not an entity impervious to corruption. Collecting specific evidence, while ignoring other potential sources, can never be a fool-proof method of investigation."
In fact, who's the site statistician? What "are" the chances that "you" are ALL right, and "we" are ALL wrong? Anybody know that one?
p.s. Explanations in layman's terms, please!
He’s an attention-seeker. Ignore him.
Come on guys, and the very odd gal, don't ignore me, make me shut up. It shouldn't be too hard. I'm only an ignorant, semi-literate apologist for murderous, god-less Arabs.

Ahh, I see.Oh he can hear me, he just cannot respond (probably just as well). When you are banned, you still have access to the public areas of the forum to read things. If you go to the front page of the CT sub-forum, you can see a list of who is currently logged in and viewing threads.
Holy crap, I think I found a quote much like it. In an episode of "Star Trek: Voyager" called Living Witness. The EMH say much the same thing, except for the "absence of evidence" thing (which I always think is a cop out for not having any proof).Anybody know who said this?
