Isn't it at times like this in TV courtroom dramas
that the prosecutor starts shouting 'Just answer the
question!'
​
Someone asked YOU what is your definition of evidence.
​
That's all.
​
It's a pretty simple request isn't it?
​
If you know what evidence is for you, then you must have
a definition for evidence that you use ... what is it?
​
Or are you worried that should you present your definition that
someone will post an item that meets your criterion AND
supports ToE?

In this thread you have not been asked to proove anything.
​
You have been asked to define a term vital to the argument.
​
Surely, in legal terms, clear definitions are reasonably important
otherwise why would the language used in legal documents etc.
be so precise.
​
You are evading the question. One must assume you fear the
answer.

Isn't 'evidence' simply data which bears relevence to
a particular question or questions?

On the off-chance that Z is still listening
​
I wasn't disparaging your line of work, only commenting on
the evidence of lack of ability to do the job.
