There is no scriptural evidence for the Immaculate Conception or the Assumption. They are pure speculation from centuries later.

Right. By "positive" evidence I meant scriptural evidence amounting to "yes, the Bible supports that here...". On issues like these, all I ever get, at best, is "Well, the Bible doesn't prohibit it". Of course, we would even disagree with that. :)

The bible does not prohibit putting milk in a refrigerator, either. :>)

There's no end of things that are NOT mentioned.
