The West is based on four pillars - Ancient Greek philosophy, Judaism, Christianity and the Enlightenment. And it was the Enlightenment that gave us the scientific method of evidence and reason.
Until the Enlightenment we had authority and faith. And the Enlightenment put authority and faith to the test of evidence and reason.
And evidence and reason have given us science and technology, modern medicine, universal literacy, electronic media, modern economics, liberal democracy, and much of what we take for granted around us.
The Enlightenment also gave us the values of freedom and equality.
And so the Enlightenment led to the abolition of institutional slavery for the first time in history by the House of Commons in 1833.
And the Enlightenment gave us the emancipation of women for the first time in history in Australia and New Zealand in 1904.
And the Enlightenment gave us the ending of institutional child abuse for the first time in history in Ireland in 2009 with the Judicial Ryan Commission.
And as you read Australia is following Ireland's example with a National Royal Commission into institutional child abuse.
So to answer your question, the evidence is scientific evidence to which reason is applied. And this method is called the scientific method.
Your posts keep getting dumber and dumber.. More jargon not worth my time to sift through. If your argument is inlightmentment your still not proving anything. I find your posts to be rather random and somwhat tangential. Anyways, I've prety much said what I have to say, you can believe what you want. This argument is dead and has been derailed.
