on certainty 231


231. If someone doubted whether the earth had existed a hundred years ago, I should not understand, for this reason: I would not know what such a person would still allow to be counted as evidence and what would not.



perhaps their point is –

that what you count as evidence –

is not conclusive –

is not certain

given that no scientific evidence is –

how hard is that to understand?
