Anecdotal Evidence

[Pat Mustard]

A) What the flying fuck does the Gettysburg address (note I corrected your capitalisation) have to do with science.

BINGO!

You're agreeing with my point and don't even realize it. There are issues which science can't, or chooses not to, study. Yet, reasonable people hold positions on such issues based on anecdotal evidence. Some of our most important life decisions are based on anecdotal evidence rather than science.

Your point was "evidence isn't enough, we must therefore give anecdote the same status". At no point did I, consciously or otherwise, give that piece of idiocy the time of day, never mind agreeing with it.

But then, I must remember that you are a christard who is practised at twisting other peoples' words in your head to make you think they agree with you.

Reasonable people can disagree on matters where there is insufficient evidence to come to a definitive conclusion on that matter. For example reasonable people can disagree on the best punishment for a particular crime. But, resonable people will not disagree on evolution, they accept the scientific explanation for it because the evidence is so strong.
