Facts v Evidence
I have reposted this reply here so that the "
moderator who moves posts" that bothersome cannot touch this. There will no doubt be some egregious reply.
Legally facts and evidence are two different things; to the untrained they appear the same.
Fact is a truth that can be proven. On the other hand evidence is something that is told by someone, or objects that point to the facts.
It is the analysis of evidence that important. Holocaust believers, always see the glass half empty and not half full, they deny the obvious at the expense of incredulity.
Evidence can be accepted only as a belief that something is a fact and in all cases this is not true. This is the issues regarding many holocaust claims.
There are two types of evidence:
- Factual evidence.
- Documented evidence
Facts are based on evidence, but evidence does not necessarily have to be true. Facts cannot be disputed by nature of the meaning. Evidence is helpful in forming a conclusion and can be disputed, which is the function of this forum.
