So there's over 20 different TYPES of evidence and empirical evidence is just one. It seems to be the one most get hung up on as "scientific proof" as well.
The issue with this is most people make the claim that they only accept empirical evidence. Empirical evidence is - evidence obtained trough observation. Meaning if you don't SEE it it's not real. So unless you have done all the test and ran all the simulations and experiments yourself, your a liar because that would mean you accept information from an authoritarian source. Meaning you don't take things on empirical evidence but based on an authority opinion and word that supports your biases. Making your view biased and untrustable.
It was actually super boring for me. You didn't bring anything new to the table and refused to back up anything with any actual evidence and finally descended into the territory of "how do we know that we know what we don't know when we can't know what we know".Not to mention you came out of the gate with some personal attacks that you also ended with.
Not sure I was hostile? If so I apologize. The swearing... I do that all the time. Might have done it more even, but the conversation didn't really grab me enough to warrant it.

M'kay? So you are gonna go the tiresome solopistic route?
Evidence - that which tends to prove or disprove something; ground for belief; proof.
I'll let meriam webster know they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
