You and your trolling. Why don't you post your lesbo lover KD Lang's song about it while you're at it. :P

Very few things are really absolute, maybe what we define as absolute zero in temperature. Than you have to define doubt and reasonable doubt. Our legal system in the USA defines it in our laws for a jury as a yardstick for proof. Having some doubts in anything may not reach legal threashold, of what is considered resaonable doubt beyond a certainty. Most murder trials are decided on phyical and forensic testing, rarly is there a eyewhitness, so the proof is never absolute. You can say I doubt he did it becasue he looks so nice in his suit, or reasonable doubt to where evidence conflicts or could mean something else, that creates reasonable doubt, in a legal sence. Even in the case of Bin Laden, could you say the proof of guilt is absolute, probably not, but all the other evidence would never give any reason for reasonable doubt.


What constitutes evidence, really, and what constitutes conclusiveness? It always circles back to perception. Scientists rely on logic, quantified observations, repeatable effects. . . But it doesn't eliminate uncertainty, only provides a practical basis for understanding. That may work well enough but it's not conclusive.

What were you saying about my input on page one? Now you are talking about gay porn, is that thoughtful input for your topic?

On a side note, bi, in fact I am quite sure God exists, as sure as one can be when dealing with such a subject, anyway. It is the. . . nature. . . of God that is. . . uncertain. :think:
