on certainty 190

190. What we call historical evidence points to the existence of the earth a long time before my birth; – the opposite hypothesis has nothing on its side.

you can’t say there’s nothing on its side –

unless it has actually  been put forward –

and argued for

there is nothing to stop someone doing this –

and if they did –

it would be interesting to see what their argument is –

and their evidence for it

as to the hypothesis –

that the earth existed a long time before my birth –

this hypothesis and the evidence for it –

like the opposite hypothesis and evidence –

is be open to question –

open to doubt
