the real problem is that "scientific evidence" of today is based upon double blind studys. Outside of this method most "educated" individuals do not venture. This is the only source of truth..
Well I disagree, all double blind studys, have problems with them and I argue because the studys are in a controlled enviroment and Science is " the study of nature in is original enviroment" then double blind studys are not real science.Double blind studys are used to prove any given point depending on who is doing the funding of the experiments otherwise the university will not receive funding.(by the way there are only 2 major sources of funding for the majority of all universitys in the us)so as a result much of the so called scientific evidence is not evidence at all.
thus I perfer the scientific evidence of empirical evidence that has been proven over and over for thousands of years.Not to mention the bickering over this and that study can bog a person down for years and eventually confuse one from basic factual knowledge.
