Can anyone explain how evidence is a proof unless it is self evident. In which case it is already a proof. A geometric proof involves writing reasoned, logical explanations that use definitions, axioms, postulates, and previously proved theorems to arrive at a conclusion about a geometric statement. A good proof has an argument that is clearly developed with each step supported by: Theorems: statements that can be proved to be true Postulates: statements that are assumed to be true without proof (for example, an angle has only one bisector) Axioms: self-evident truths or the basic facts that are accepted without any proof (for example, a straight line can be drawn between any two points) Proofs are commonly written in two columns, where the statements are listed in one column and the reasons for each statement's truth are listed in another column.

Presentation. You can present evidence but it is not proof unless it is given some thought. And I would say that thinking is a verb not a noun. Being shown evidence is passive for the receiver. The receiver has to do actively think about it before it is accepted. For example you can present evidence to Pioneer, but unless he accepts it as valid it is not proof of your argument. However you have your own definition of proof. And no amount of evidence even standard definitions of the word from my two favourite dictionaries proves my assertion. @Cynique

Did the evidence provide proof @Cynique

I agree that was the point I was trying to make. The smoking Gun is evidence(noun), the proof is a process (verb).

A friend told me Mah Jonng has a spiritual dimension. Playing cards can be used for fortune telling. In addition there is a divination system that use playing cards. Which I happened to be exposed to at the same time I was learning Tarot.

I don't believe innocence I'd ever mentioned. It's either guilty or not guilty. It would be difficult to determine innocence since motivation is not easily ascertained

The verdict proves the evidence, or not. Without context meaning is elusive. When a topic is discussed I try to think about it in more than one context, I also like etymology and arguing semantics.

In a case you provide evidence and then the prosecutor tries to use the evidence as a proof of a crime. Whereas the defense tries to disprove it. Evidence is the body of material presented, proof is the verdict.

I prefer games that have a random component or where luck comes into play as well as skill. So the few times I have been to a Casino I prefer Roulette. Since the croupier skills don't tilt the game in the house's favor.

I was thinking along those same lines this morning. The Vedas touch upon ever area of life. What is fascinating is that certain yoga asanas (poses) have beneficial effects on the body or mind. In addition asanas at held for different lengths of time. So yoga was divinely inspired or downloaded from the aether.

Sorry never doubted it. Just had a little pronoun problem.

I'm mistook Pioneer's self hatred as hatred towards Blacks. Thanks for clearing that up for me @ProfD

There is a pyramid in Mexico that makes a bird sound when you clap in front of it and a snake sound when you clap on the other side.

This is so tight and on the money. Agreed. It made me question whether he was Black.

I'll let you know in February.

Akashic is an Indian term which also corresponds with 0. Some Sanskrit words are associated with numbers.

If a person doesn't consider something as being useless that doesn't diminish it's value. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/consider Etymology Middle English, from Anglo-French considerer, from Latin considerare to observe, think about, from com- + sider-, sidus heavenly body

I happen to read signs symbols and omens so I don't share your opinion on this matter. It's also important to understand that both words and symbols mean what we say they mean. And this can vary across both cultures and time On addition it vary on time within a culture. However it is problematic to judge or even ascertain the values across cultures and time. And it is probably extremely difficult across both simultaneously.
