Levels Of Required Proof
X marks the spot: Evidence beyond any doubt based on a reason
Guilty only if proven beyond a reasonable doubt
Burden Of Proof aka (Absolute Certainty)
Burden Of Proof: The person making the claim bears the burden
One has to prove his claim with absolute certainty
LAW: Burden Of Proof
Scale
Burden Of Proof: Decision
Plaintiff does not have enough evidence to support his case: Defendant wins
Examples
1. If one says he is a unicorn the Burden Of Proof solely rests on him
You are right only when you prove it
Claims otherwise are Dud if one cannot prove it
Dud
Dud if you cannot bear the burden of the claim
Eg 2: Corpus Delicti
You have to prove that person charged with the crime is responsible for the crime
Eg 3: Religion
Gnostic Theist: Search for God and find him
Strong Theist: I do not question the existence of God, I know he exists
Religious Logic: You cannot prove that i dont have an apple
Atheist knows that Burden Of Proof lies on Religion
Logic without evidence does not qualify as Burden Of Proof
It is very rare to see Darth Vader showing his Ugly Face to Mankind
Only after seeing Vader one can accept the Burden Of Proof Religion provides
Darth Vader chokes people with Religion
Example 4: Disease
Disease: Specificity of a test rules in Disease
HIV
Trichomonas Vaginalis
Specificity: A positive test with high specificity rules in pathology
Burden Of Proof lies upon the specificity of Test
Specificity of Test identifies those without the Disease
