great: I ask for evidence as opposed to testimony, and am given testimony.

scienTISTS (and those who support science) should keep open minds, certainly.
I do.

science ITSELF should remain unsullied by pink unicornism and other poofery. pink unicornism and other pooferies are different from science and already exist in their own pastures.

those who hold poofery dear should quit urinating over the fence onto science's pasture.
simple courtesy.

The thing is, when you follow the 'evidence' it becomes testimony in case you have not followed it that far..

In case you don't get it, contemporary pink unicornism and other poofery has seduced some in the cloak of what they call 'science'

the rest of your post here can only cement that and that will 'stand on its own'

science ITSELF

We know no such thing. There is scientific thinking and the objects that scientists choose to study. That together forms science, a field of study that cannot escape historical contingency.

Testimony is evidence - ask any trial lawyer, judge or jury. Moreover, it is evidence directly available to you, if you have "ears to hear."

But perhaps the evidence you are seeking is sensory - but that kind of evidence is available to only a few.

Then again, doubting Thomas was an apostle, too.

Beyond that, I wait anxiously to hear your reply to cornelis' post at 1402.
