Try to recognize the difference. The collective has "Argued" in the past that our existence, life, is evidence for abiogenesis. Not that you know the difference but, in both cases it could be stated that the observation (life) is consistent with the hypothesis. And THAT really is a fairly decent definition of evidence: "An observation or measurement that is consistent with a hypothesis." See (speaking rhetorically), you are an idiot. You don't think, you rationalize. Hypocrisy is no problem for the likes of you. ...seems to be you Go-To strategy. -- https://jtem.tumblr.com/tagged/The%20Book%20of%20JTEM/page/5
