So why do you keep conflating math with this topic, Snit? Is there no truth in your world other than math? Yes, that must be it., oh great truth seeker. LOL!

No, Steve: it is utter rubbish. But thank you for proving my point. Where you are getting confused, I suspect, is thinking "doubt" is the same as "reasonable" doubt... and thinking that "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" is the same as "proof". A = B B = C A C There is no way that is "absolutely true for all sane, honest and honorable people". It is false. Period. Just amazing how ignorant the trolls are. You just tried to sell the idea that I'm the person who doesn't know the difference between "absolute proof (as in a mathematical proof) and the concept of proof beyond a reasonable doubt", Which is true. You continually confuse the two. It is likely it is your confusion of the two which lead to your confusion, above. yet, in attempting it you provided statements made by me that were all from discussions that had nothing to do with math? Of course, it's all irrelevant anyway (which is why you keep bringing it up) because you also admitted: The concept of "proof", in the above comments, was absolute proof. You got confused and did not understand that. Right. It does not offer proof. The definition of proof is: "a formal series of statements showing that if one thing is true something else necessarily follows from it". While the evidence in my argument points to the conclusion and strongly supports it, it is not, technically, in a logical sense, proof"." - Snit A formal proof - logic and math. But that confused you. Got it. That's you admitting that you not only had *no* proof but you didn't have *one single* true statement from which something else could necessarily follow. I had strong evidence but not absolute proof. The idea that lack of proof leads to a valid refutation is an "argument from ignorance". And it is a fitting term - your ignorance is what has lead you to be lost with this topic. For years. I have little hope you will ever understand the concept. So why do you keep conflating math with this topic, Snit? Is there no truth in your world other than math? Yes, that must be it., oh great truth seeker. LOL! You clearly are confusing ideas. Oh well. You have been doing so for years. LOL! -- [INSERT .SIG HERE] |

In a court there is almost never proof... hence the standard of proof *beyond a reasonable doubt*. Really, Steve, it has been years of my telling you this.. and years of you not getting it. -- [INSERT .SIG HERE] |

Your definition of proof,which relies upon the existence of a true statement so that something else could neccesarily follow from it, works just fine in this context. Math need not apply. You're now trying to convince readers that "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" doesn't need to contain anything for which a true statement can be made about it... you know, so some deduction can necessarily follow from the statement. Good luck with your idea that people are as stupid as you need them to be In a court there is almost never proof... In court proof there certainly is evidence sufficient to establish a thing as true, or to produce belief in its truth to observers. It's nothing more than the effect of evidence in convincing the mind that something is true. Notably, you didn't say anything about 'absolute proof', you said you had NO proof. This means you didn't have absoute proof, you didn't have proof beyond a reasonable doubt... or any other kind of proof. You ready to change your position on your statement YET? LOL! |

Here, maybe this will help you: try to describe the two. I *know* you will fail. You simply do not understand the difference. **** you. Why don't you answer his questions first. I did answer your questions, Steve: they are all answered by the fact you are still confused between the two concepts I ask you about, above. And, predictably, you will not even try to describe the differences. It has baffled you for years - and, as you prove above, it baffles you still. [Oh no! I used the word "prove"...
