rez

I take a simple approach to it: I ask if I can observe it, and if I can observe the same result consistently under the same experimental conditions.

I've observed evolution. I've observed the Earth being round. I've been able to show both to others, thus making the evidence both consistent and generalized for all observers.

I'm also very careful to ask contextual questions. Now or last week? In front of me or in Podunk, Idaho?

Part of my real life job is to ask specific questions and narrow things down to their simplest parts. That's how I approach things logically.

I ask if anyone can see the same thing repeatedly, and I ask if the context is accurate.
