I am, in fact, an expert in evidence (and arguments from the evidence) as most lawyers who practice daily in a court of law should be.
Uh, maybe you would like to explain how being a self-proclaimed "expert" in legal evidence has any application to scientific evidence.
I have never seen much resembling legal documents in a science journal.

Re: Still Unable to Grasp the Concept...

Maybe you were looking in the wrong place? Anyway, it's doubtful you've actually read all the scientific journals.
I never said I read all scientific journals.
I said that I had never seen anything resembling a legal document in a scientific journal.

I, however, have seen much reference to science journals in "legal documents". DNA analysis is new, and actually got some people off death row. I'm sure you'll hear of it sooner or later.
Um, so what?
I will repeat the question that you ignored:
Uh, maybe you would like to explain how being a self-proclaimed "expert" in legal evidence has any application to scientific evidence.
quote:
I'd also be happy to continue to enlighten you about the utility of scientific evidence in a court room,
...except that's not what I asked.
quote:
if you could be so kind to define scientific evidence for us.
Sure.
Scientific evidence is that which we can detect with our five senses.
quote:
Don't forget to cite the appropriate scientific journal where you will get your definition.
Such a basic concept is not likely to be found in a journal article, because journal articles do not deal with explaining what science is. Professional journals assume you learned such things in grade school.
It will more likely be found in a textbook.
