FALSE, but nice try.
Question: What level of proof is adequate proof, then?
SF: I talk in terms of evidence. The legal profession recognizes certain
standards: in a civil court, "preponderance of the evidence;" in a criminal
court, "beyond a reasonable doubt." I think there is, right now, quite
sufficient evidence.
The legal profession also has another term for what you write about. It
is called hearsay, and is inadmissable in court.
Try scientific evidence next time. BTW, that means evidence and
experimentation that is observable firsthand, and is repeatable. This is
what makes something valid in the scientific realm.
Nice try on your part, but it doesn't hold water. Suggest you get a copy
of Black's law Dictionary before you post such nonesense again.........
