4. “Circumstantial evidence is a very tricky thing. It may seem to point very straight to one thing, but if you shift your own point of view a little, you may find it pointing in an equally uncompromising manner to something entirely different.”
Arthur Conan Doyle
Evidence, Perspective, Investigation, Deduction, Critical Thinking
10. “On the internet, it is easy to find studies that support both sides of an argument. In general, you should never accept the validity of people’s ideas because they have supplied “evidence.” Instead, examine the evidence yourself in the cold light of day, with as much skepticism as you can muster. Your first impulse should always be to find the evidence that disconfirms your most cherished beliefs and those of others. That is true science.” Robert Greene Evidence Analysis, Argument Validation, Scientific Thinking, Internet, Evidence, Beliefs
12. “So far, scientists have not uncovered any evidence that would hint that the workings of the Universe require the action of a divine being. On the other hand, scientists have uncovered no evidence that indicates that a divine being does not exist.” Isaac Asimov Science, Universe, Divinity, Evidence, Knowledge, Belief
16. “We are certainly not to relinquish the evidence of experiments for the sake of dreams and vain fictions of our own devising; nor are we to recede from the analogy of Nature, which is wont to be simple and always consonant to itself.” Isaac Newton Science, Experimentation, Nature, Philosophy, Evidence
