57. "Saying that no evidence of god has ever been produced is likewise a fact."
Edited on Sat Oct-29-11 10:15 PM by Boojatta
If you film an event, then your film cannot serve alone as an exhibit in court. Somebody needs to testify in court and explain how the film was produced and how the person who provided the film came into possession of it.

It sounds as though you are expecting physical evidence. Would you accept testimony from someone who brings the physical evidence? If you wouldn't accept such testimony, then the physical evidence would be alone and it would not be accepted in law as evidence.

If you would accept such testimony, then it's not clear why it's essential for you to also have physical evidence. Courts don't require that there always be physical evidence. Testimony that is internally consistent and that comes from a person who has a record of being credible is testimony that might be accepted even though there might be no physical evidence accompanying the testimony.
