And in regards to religiousites and 'evidence', even the meaning of the word evidence is up for grabs.
In the Mormon orbit (which I'm extremely fond of noting since they conveniently documented so very very much of their perfidy and connivance and contrivance) 'evidence' of the gold plates was deemed so important that a member of the church merely having a dream about the plates was counted as evidence for the existence of the plates and the translated content on them. That dreams were counted as evidence might raise the issue of why not just display the plates?
Well, that presupposes the plates actually exist, you silly twit.
Additionally, if the member having the evidentiary dream regarding the plates was later excommunicated from the church, their testimony is still deemed valid, despite another issue being raised by that, why would the Mormon deity instill a confirmatory dream in member with a subsequently impure heart ?
"Evidence', it's a tricky thing, ain't it ?

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
