To this point is is something that is on the table for consideration, but I'm not going to go in circles about something being evidence if it can't be viewed objectively. If not, there's no point to it, because it can simply be implied that the evidence wasn't acceptable. If it's defined ahead of time, then I have criteria for any evidence I would need to assert if I choose to.
That's nice, dear...but what logical fallacy can you identify, and what's wrong with the criteria established by the definition of the term, itself?
I already pointed it out. I didn't assert any evidence. Do you want the technical name for the fallacy?
No reason to attempt to provide something that isn't adequately defined. In this case "evidence", it would be a waste of time trying to pick and choose what might be considered adequate. If it's not objective, then I'm not interested. If someone else is, then target them for it.

You don't know what you are talking about. Wow, you can google for some random website.

Well, given the the supernatural doesn't have any objective evidence in its favor, why have any interest in it?

How many sources would you like? If my citation wasn't adequate, on what basis didn't it meet your standard(s)?
We study with parameters. If something is "supernatural" how would we establish parameters by something not bound by our natural laws because it supersedes them by how it's defined?

Yes, max... for the third time, lol...can you identify whatever logical fallacy you think you were dealing with in the quoted text?
What are you talking about, not adequately defined? Can you identify what it is, precisely, that makes the definition of the term evidence inadequate?

No need to rage dude. It makes more sense to state the actual fallacy rather than state the specific name of the fallacy. Must be an atheist thing.

I am not claiming the supernatural, you do. You make the definition, framework and tools to detect and falsify. I am busy doing my own job, cant do yours as well, sorry. Dont try to use your own intellectual laziness as an excuse to ask others to lower their bars / standards for belief.
If you dont like the scientific method you are free to propose any other, reliable, tool to evaluate your supernatural claims.

Looks like a "no" to both questions.

By making whatever observations are possible, finding patterns in the observed behavior, making hypotheses about those patterns, and testing them with further observations.
And why would you think something exists if it cannot, even in theory, be observed?
