The Evidence Required Is?

[Bgood]

You have some suggestion as to what else we might use to investigate these things, since science alone is apparently not going to cut it? How did you come about this probability anyway?

I say life is apricot jam. The dharma is clearly lacking in the "noble truth" department. Sounds more like an obvious oversimplification to me (and as such completely and absurdly incorrect). But hey, that's how you dredge the net as far as possible, state some generality as "truth", preferably one that will appeal to those who are likely to be emotionally needy. Makes good ad copy.

The various sciences are unquestionably the best source of investigation. But results are misinterpreted, manipulated and contaminated by subjective human beings. I think Intuition from a buddha can explain alot that science can't, for example the truth of universal suffering and it's cessation through meditation.

The Buddha in a sense, uses the scientific method in understanding human nature and the riddles of the mind-body. But the human mind is not wholly scientific and logical. We have a creative side that is hard to pin down and say it is thus.

Evidence for or against anything many times goes unheeded anyway. Look at all the evidence for 911 being an inside job and still people believe that our government is incapable and too caring to pull such a devastating false flag operation. Perfect example..evidence doesn't mean anything. People believe what they feel comfortable with.
