>>>>From DBT I am arguing for evidence as justification, that evidence is necessary whenever we are sorting fact from fiction, so to say to that 'you would not be convinced by any amount of evidence' is absurd.<<<<
Do you really mean you need evidence as a justification or proof?
Evidence comes in varying degrees of quality. An eyewitness who can testify to someone’s general height, weight, and body frame can deliver evidence, but not like an eyewitness who can testify that the person involved is definitely his brother-in-law. The latter may serve as proof, where the former couldn’t. Either way it’s still evidence.
The Bible itself is evidence of Christianity and the existence of God: Is Christianity more likely to be true, given the existence of the Bible? Of course! Obviously the existence of the Bible, on its own and without close inspection of its contents, doesn’t come anywhere near providing proof. It’s still evidence, on any normal understanding of the term and I chose to believe the evidence in the Christian Bible.
The bible is evidence of Christianity....the new testament being its foundation.
Which does not mean that what is written in the new testament (or OT) is evidence for the truth of their supernatural stories: circular reasoning, begging the question, etc.....
For me and most on the Fire, it is evidence for the truth, but not PROOF...I mean we can keep going and going like the energizer bunny...you say NOT SO and I/we say YES IT IS....
