Ten-sai,
quote:
Any of the rules of evidence you happen to be familiar with Mark. Since you are "familiar" with none (I prefer the phrase "an expert with none"), you ask a meaningless question. So how about we use the scientific rules of evidence instead? You must be familiar with those golden axioms of logic.
YOU claimed to be familiar with rules of evidence. Now, for the FIFTH time of asking, WHICH ONE? Name it. Why so coy?
quote:
Mark:
Could you also define "evidence", please.
quote:
Ten-sai:
That was my question precisely, and answered quite unsatisfactorily I might add. The reason I asked in the first place was because you laypeople throw around that term and deceive others into buying into most of your garbage so-so mounds of "evidence" arguments. Truth be told, you are ignorant of which you speak. My job was to clearly point that out.
Would this definition be getting close? The definition of evidence are the rules themselves which memorialize the concept. If not, could you give your definition, please.
quote:
Are you a lawyer too Mark? Because only a layperson would argue like this (get upset) about evidence.
I’m not upset about it, YOU brought it up, not me. Seems to me you’re the uptight one here, mate.
Also, when responding to a post, if you click reply at the bottom of that message, it gives the author, (& you) a cue as to whom has responded. It’s just easier to keep track of what’s going on for all concerned.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi all,
Page not found | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute
quote:
Rule 101. Scope. (Article I)
These rules govern proceedings in the courts of the United States and before United States bankruptcy judges and United States magistrate judges, to the extent and with the exceptions stated in rule 1101
I was hoping, not much, but hoping, that Ten-sai would at least be prepared to discuss his claims of superiority regarding what evidence is. He claims to "be familiar" with the rules of evidence, but as you shall see, should be made to go back to school. The federal rules of evidence, which most states vary from to some small degree, if not accept it totally, states in its very first rule that the scope of the rules apply to courts & NOTHING ELSE.
This effectively makes Ten-sai's claims moot, & makes him look somewhat foolish, since he's a lawyer & claims to be "familiar" with said rules.
So, either, there is no such thing as "evidence" outside of the courtroom (it doesn't even apply to all US courts for chrissakes), a patently ridiculous claim! Or, Ten-sai is talking out of his arse.
You choose.
Mark

Ten-sai,
quote:
When I was a wee ole chap in law school learning about the logic of evidence, I studied the Model Rules, applicable both everywhere and nowhere...
The Model Rules of what, exactly? There are model rules for lots of things.
You claimed to have rules of evidence, now its model rules? Please cite where the model rules state they have a universal application of what evidence is. Are you trying to obfuscate?

Ten-sai,
quote:
PSS. Mark, you are right. A lawyer doesn't know anything about EVIDENCE. So please advise. I am waiting anxiously for your future counsel on what YOU think evidence is, although, I have to say, this will be the first time I've heard anybody assert evidence is a subjective thing. Are you now saying science is subjective or are you saying that science doesn't work with evidence??? Hoo-boy!! What a tangled web we weave . . .
Post 18 please.
I have already answered your question regarding what evidence is, & have been waiting for some time for a response, see post one. Your turn. What is evidence?

Ten-sai,
I ask again, what model rules states it has the ultimate, definitive, meaning of evidence to-be-applied-universally, & under whose authority does it do this? Cite please.
quote:
So, try again. Tell us (really this time!!) what evidence is..
Actually, I think I’ll wait for your definition, since I asked first, after all.
http://EvC Forum: Christopher Bohar's Debate Challenge
You may well have asked the question what is evidence before on these boards, but not to me. So please answer the question. What is evidence? I suggest you chase whomever you asked for a definition of evidence from for an answer, but don’t hassle me for it until you answer the same question I ask of you.
Perhaps you could quote from the model rules?
[Added by edit]In the light of this, I am fascinated as to what you find "compelling" about Mr Borgers argument for a multipurpose genome? Not the evidence, surely? Given that the molecular evidence overwhelmingly supports evolution, how do you rationalise this position? I fail to see what criteria you apply to Peters evidence that makes it admissible in your eyes, but exactly the same evidence that supports evolution you dismiss as lies.
A dichotomy?
It will all become clear when you finally feel able to stop being coy about giving a definition from the "model rules" for "evidence", no doubt.

Ten-sai,
I’ll reply for the sake of completeness.
quote:
Prove you asked first, then I will answer your question of "what evidence is"...
You and I both know it was I who first asked the piercing question; I asked the question because I know the answer, remember that's what lawyers do?
I provided a link to my original question, you never asked me before that. This isn’t a courtroom, Ten-sai, in the real world you are sometimes expected to work a little bit for yourself, unless you can’t remember when & who you asked the question of, that is.
That you know the answer to what evidence Is remained to be seen. & now you’ll never have the chance to shine. Well, we both know that’s not true, you had at least TEN opportunities to answer the question asked of you. The obvious conclusion is that you don’t have a clue how to answer the original question.
quote:
How about all that evidence for abiogenesis/evolution? Btw, what/where/how/&when is the line of demarcation b/n the two? Could the line be so ambiguous and vague that the two concepts are one and the same?
Also, if you repost your question to me about accepting evolution if ID was conceded I would answer it. Just very busy this week (Mams ); been in court where it is my job to debunk whacky theories all day when it is alleged there is "evidence" in support thereof. People's lives depend on my expertise. You?
This is the purpose of the hypothetical question. Whether I concede anything is irrelevant. Abiogenesis can’t be the logical imperative of evolution if you think ID can have been causal in the creation of life. Period.
All,
I first bumped into Ten-sai in the guise of apple toast here http://gs.us.publicus.com/forums/Forum2/HTML/000826-11.html . It starts a bit confusingly because it takes about a week to get registered. As such, I started using Sonofasailors (on his invitation) spare account, sos22, when I got my reg through, SLPx started using sos22. As you can see, things progressed pretty much as they have here. TS/AT asks questions, he doesn’t stoop to answer any. Any attempt to force him to will resort in a litany of legobabble. I accepted the challenge to provide evidence that would be acceptable in a court, & thought it would be fun! Well, it would be against an honest Lawyer, but apple toast had other ideas of what the daubert test required in order to allow scientific evidence/expert testimony in the courtroom, he basically thought no-one would notice if he added a few criteria of his own to rule 702 (Fed rules of evidence). Basically he bluffed, was called, & left. During the conversation he was invited over here, which is where he likely got the URL, refused, but lo & behold a few months afterwards Ten-sai emerges.

RedV,
There was never a case to answer (OMG,I'm even starting to sound like him!), he would make a statement like "evolution has no evidence, I know what evidence is!" When pushed to back this up substantially, he would wimp out, every time. I'm not joking when I say he had 10 opportunities to respond.
There's two lawyers who drink in my local, & they haven't got a clue as to what he's on about regarding "model rules". I guess we'll never know....
