[QUOTE="Sonix, post: 184584, member: 10954"] [USER=443]@Harte[/USER] , you are clearly not reading what is being written. This was the first and only post I had made to this thread and you are responding to it as if I have been in continual debate with you and you've accused me of dodging questions you have asked of others, not of me. You asked earlier and repeated "If absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, exactly what [B][I]would[/I][/B] be evidence of absence? " and that is what my post was a response to. I made my point. Evidence of absence can only be found in the confidence of the thoroughness of the search in which no evidence was found - in exhausting the bucket, using the marble analogy. As we are talking about the practical world which is not an exhaustible bucket for any of us, as we are not omniscient, as plenty of phenomena are especially rare or subtle and we may not have sufficient preliminary understanding to know to look or how or where to look, it is more reasonable to remain undecided on some of these things than it is to suggest that because the anecdotal evidence has not yet met the criteria of evidence in the physical sciences then that is evidence of absence of the phenomena.
