Real, independently verifiable, evidence like scientific theories are based on.

@suzie1960 That's what many people will say, but when I ask them to define the criteria for "real, independently verifiable, evidence", it becomes subjective... and in the end it seems as if their criteria cannot ever be met.

@ms20182878 As there are scientific theories that I accept, it's clear those criteria are met.

@suzie1960 Yes, I understand. But for most of us, the "criteria" becomes... do I believe it... or not. Our criteria isn't very definable and it changes with the situation.

@ms20182878 Speak for yourself. The criterion for a scientific theory is basically whether it consistently and repeatedly explains the observed facts and is falsifiable.
