[QUOTE="Harte, post: 184487, member: 443"] You are mixing "evidence" with "proof" here. Evidence that a thing happened doesn't mean that thing actually happened. That would require proof. You are also incorrect when you quote Sagan's sarcastic "absence of evidence" statement. Unless you believe that there can be no such thing as absence of evidence. That is, if absence of evidence does not constitute evidence of absence, then what exactly [B][I]would[/I][/B] constitute evidence of absence? I certainly believe this concerning members of online internet forums. These are the only people I've seen use the idea that "Scientist think we know everything" as a straw man to prop up their arguments. Any thinking person already knows that we don't know everything. As a trivial example, if everything was known there would be no more scientists, just engineers. Harte [/QUOTE]
