Gallo,

In the post and thread I invited you to view, I basically said the same thing you said above. Logical proof and empirical evidence are different things, so one cannot be used in place of the other. We are on the same page, trust me. :)

OK. But you also mentioned "empirical proof", a concept that is completely foreign to my understanding. Proof is a matter of booze, maths, and logic. A logical proof is a valid syllogism, even though it may not be true. But evidence (in science, all evidence is empirical) is never proof, and one never proves evidence.
