Well, Amos, it's data all right. There's no denying it. But what it isn't is evidence. It's witness. A bit like visions. Other forms of non-evidence, apart from witness and visions, often presented as evidence, are tradition, edicts emanating from holy men, "theology", ancient texts penned by desert savages, mass hysteria and mysterious objects. They can all be recorded as data, but none of them represents evidence. Evidence must be observable by your peers, it must be repeatable and it must be able to be corroborated. I can tell you that I think Stonehenge is a temple to the gods, but I'd better be able to back up that assertion with evidence. I'm fine with people believing what they think they believe in. No skin off my nose. As long as they don't present their unsupportable mythology as fact to other people. That's just lying. And that applies to every person who's ever lived who tells someone else that their God is true. They are liars and they do a good deal of damage. Data can be false, and often is. Evidence can be checked.
