I have no evidence that libertarianism leads to a better life. I just think it is morally right.
"Objective" means that, in a confrontation with the evidence, you would be willing to change your own mind.
The book is true, and if evidence seems to condtradict it, it is the evidence that must be thrown out not the book.
What better evidence could there be of a man's salvation than that he offers to others the grace he himself has received?
. . . [the federal] government [has no authority] to deliver a service,. . . and there's no evidence to show that government has ever been efficient [at] delivering. . . service.
Evidence of harm is hard to come by.
What you see is evidence of what you believe.
Often the strongest evidence of my growth in grace is my growth in the knowledge of my need for grace.
Many phenomena - wars, plagues, sudden audits - have been advanced as evidence for the hidden hand of Satan in the affairs of Man, but whenever students of demonology get together the M25 London orbital motorway is generally agreed to be among the top contenders for exhibit A.
