When it becomes a fact?
#12
RE: When it becomes a fact?
My point bringing evolution was as an example about a fact, but on particular a fact that its somehow denied constantly, and thus it needs to be stated as a fact, we rarely see people stating facts like those because they are often obvious...

So... I was interested about the approach on casual communication of facts, approaching of unsubstanciated assertions, incorrect reasoning and how some people other than me deal with all this on regular basis.

Both of you made some interesting points... I just (somehow) forgot completely about the "beyond reasonable doubt" concept, so I was struggling to reconcile the way Dawkins just make a assertion and said "it is the truth", even when he is... well, him.
