So given the best conditions for multiple witness testimony, and no other evidence other than the bullet in your leg... But no other physical evidence. You would say that we cannot really know what happened..... That you could not really know what happened?   I find this ridiculous!

All we would know by that is that you got shot, not who shot you! That's not ridiculous, that's reasonable

Scientific endeavors without physical evidence, you mean? Such as?

As soon as you quit observing it... It's a memory....one that according to some, maybe highly flawed memory. What is being proposed here, crumbles a good many arguments on this board. Ohh... You think this is possible.... Perhaps your memory was influenced by something you read and its now just a false memory? You would not even realize you are mistaken?

It's not a personal memory, and I can always confirm prior observations as well. Plus, these observations tend to be recorded in writing or on tape or what have you, so it's not just in the head.

Hey, it might be, that's -exactly- why they have to show their work, and why their results must be reproduced independantly.  Next.

History, isn't science, though they're trying to use as much science as possible. Nevertheless, if we have a "historical record" that says a city named Atlantis sunk into the sea...........we try to find a submerged city that fits the timeframe.

And then it becomes a memory to someone else....who can testify to it. Do you believe things based on the observation and testimony of others? Are you sure that they are not mistaken?

Not irrelevant, unreliable. But anyway in the real world, there should be some physical evidence supporting what we believe about ourselves and the world.

Do you believe you are a relatively honest or good person? Can you please supply testable, repeatable physical evidence please?
