No, I'm claiming that the correct type of research should be conducted to determine if immigration is good
Really? Is this a joke? :) I'll take studies conducted by experts in their field over one's done in the bible.
Yes it does, I'm simply suggesting that the experts in their field will...
But its still evidence. It's bad evidence but it's still evidence and its up to my audience to assess it
It may be a little different to you but you should still must be able to get the gist (Some sort of understanding of my opinion) so you should be able to still assess it?
Yes you can.
The mighty tigers are the best team because they have the best fullback.
My subjective opinion is supported by evidence (however crude or basic). Can you see where the evidence is?
No of course not but I think having an opinion about something is a basic human condition.
And giving evidence to support an opinion just goes hand in hand.
There is nothing special or unusual about this premise
Evidence works in many areas, it's used for justification
And it doesn't matter what the evidence is? It could be anything?
However, for an audience to accept a belief, a certain type of evidence would be required.
And its all subjective, these beliefs and forms of evidence are just opinions...
Yes I can understand however, it is widely agreed upon by nearly every human being on the planet that a belief supported by evidence is given more credibility.
I would be able to find studies and papers to support this but this 'thread' is not the place, you should just take this as a 'given'...
Yes, governments would spend lots of resources on working out what immigration policy is best for their country.
And part of these resources would be certain types of studies being done to work out the best policies. They would have experts, (bureaucrats) giving the best advice, supported by...
Yes, I'm sure it's not all good but my point is that you make decisions based on studies made (Evidence).
And this is what a large part of the thread is about, evidence.
And if your belief is supported by evidence, it gives it more credibility.
I wonder if they know the numbers of people who really adhere to the religion's rules or do they just follow a religion because they are afraid of what happens after you die?
I'm not saying this wrong however, but what are the motivations for following a religion. That would be what I would...
Yes and when that information is used wisely, it makes for a better community
No of course it doesn't, but I'll say it again, it's the best we have.
And broadly speaking, the proof is western civilisation and all of it's amazing achievements................that I assume you and our Danish...
Yes they may operate differently but the goal of the studies, scientific and humanities are the same, which is to gather as much information/evidence to support an idea.
And whatever spin you want to put on it, this is essential for a thriving community
Yes but it's more than the material world, I'm including all the social studies, physiological studies and so on. All these wonderful 'scientific' studies that make the world a better place.
Yes this is my opinion and yes there are things that deceive us but science is still the best way to...
But it is the closest thing to a fact or to the truth......and evidence supports this.
Everything else is merely an opinion or a belief.
I see clearly now
