  1. evidence

    Demonstration, in the strict and proper sense, is the highest form of proof, and gives the most absolute certainty, but can not be applied outside of pure mathematics or other strictly deductive reasoning; there can be proof and certainty, however, in matters that do not admit of demonstration. A conclusion is the absolute and necessary result of the admission of certain premises; an inference is a probable conclusion toward which known facts, statements, or admissions point, but which they do not absolutely establish; sound premises, together with their necessary conclusion, constitute a demonstration. Evidence is that which tends to show a thing to be true; in the widest sense, as including self-evidence or consciousness, it is the basis of all knowledge. Proof in the strict sense is complete, irresistible evidence; as, there was much evidence against the accused, but not amounting to proof of guilt. Moral certainty is a conviction resting on such evidence as puts a matter beyond reasonable doubt, while not so irresistible as demonstration. Compare HYPOTHESIS; INDUCTION.

    Synonyms:
    certainty, conclusion, consequence, deduction, demonstration, induction, inference, proof

How to use evidence in a sentence?

  1. Pope Francis:

    I apologize for hurting them without realizing it. But I did not intend this, the word' proof' was not the best way to approach a pained heart. I would say' evidence.' In Barros' case, it was studied. It was restudied. And there is no evidence. And that is what I wanted to say. I don't have evidence to convict. If I convicted without evidence or without moral certainty, I would commit a crime of being a bad judge.

  2. Paul Offit:

    Where's the evidence that somebody over 50 benefits from a fourth dose ? Because the evidence to date appears to support the possibility for those over 65, although I haven't, we haven't, seen all the data, but where's the evidence for a 50 to 64 year old ? Where's that evidence ? Because absent that evidence, then there shouldn't be this recommendation.

  3. James Clapper:

    I never saw any direct empirical evidence that the Trump Jr. campaign or someone in it was plotting/conspiring with the Russians to meddle with the election, that's not to say that there weren't concerns about the evidence we were seeing, anecdotal evidence. ... But I do not recall any instance where I had direct evidence of the content of these meetings. It's just the frequency and prevalence of them was of concern.

  4. David Seres:

    Evidence-based practice requires no evidence when what it refers to is practice based on guidelines in which the quality of the evidence is based, and in which level E is solely expert opinion.

  5. Tryon Edwards:

    Credulity is belief in slight evidence, with no evidence, or against evidence.
