"Evidence" isn't really a good term to used in mathematics. It more properly belongs to forensics. Mostly I have seen the denial: "Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence" used in discussions of UFOs.

On the other hand (paraphrased from "Punch"): In an emergency, absence of body is preferable to presence of mind.

Thank you so much for your post!

I think you just identified the problem with terms used. Yockey's disciplines are information theory (a branch of mathematics) and molecular biology. I believe he also has a PhD in physics. I would imagine he has a different view of "evidence" than others.

Evolutionists use it a lot too try to talk away all the missing links.
