"What is “evidence”? A decent legal definition is “every type of proof legally presented at trial . . . which is intended to convince the judge and/or jury of alleged facts material to the case.” This proof can include eyewitness testimony, expert testimony, scientific evidence, and circumstantial evidence. The types of evidence are too numerous to list. But whatever its form, the bottom line is the same: It is proof that is intended to convince another person of the truth of the matter asserted.

Evidence is often contradictory. Eyewitnesses conflict, scientific evidence is often subject to different interpretations or can be tainted by mistakes or corruption in collection and analysis, statistics can often be more confusing than illuminating, but as anyone with even a few seconds of courtroom experience understands, the mere existence of alternative explanations does not — by itself — nullify evidence presented. Conflicting evidence or alternative explanations certainly increase the difficulty in discerning truth, but saying that one is not persuaded by the evidence presented, or believes that the evidence for one proposition is stronger than the evidence for another proposition, is a materially different statement than the assertion that there is no evidence at all."

Evidence is in fact the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid. Not very many could present proportional evidence to support their claim that a monotheistic God exists.

For instance:

There is a box. We haven't opened the box yet. So, there is no sufficient justification to prove the claim that the box contains anything.

HOWEVER

Nonetheless, the claim is possible. You can take it upon faith.

"Evidence" is one of the most important aspects of debating. You need to back up your arguments with information.

"conflicting evidence or alternative explanations do not equate to “no evidence.”"

Correct.

There is always more to come.

I may continue tomorrow.
