ALL THE EVIDENCE POINTS
Just how much evidence is required for certainty or to reach a conclusion that is beyond doubt? The modern age stands or falls on the application of scientific methods – hypothesis, theory and law. When new evidence comes to light, new hypotheses will lead to a questioning of previous assumptions and theories which can even undermine reasoning formerly taken to be factual, sound, solid laws! This is the way bodies of knowledge develop and are passed on to subsequent generations as ‘received fact’. It means however that many theories are overturned and some taken as fact now will be overturned in the future! Let’s consider science and faith to see where the evidence points.
