I agree the absolute requires strong evidence, but when we are imperfect beings can we ever be certain that the evidence we got is absolute?
Which was my point. By absolute evidence I mean 'proof'. Which we can get in the field of mathematics, but that's only because mathematics is man-made so - I assume at it's base at least? - it is tautological.
Yes my point is that we can't have absolute evidence because we are subjective observers, or agents, in this reality we experience.
Sorry if I wasn't clear.
