People who ask for both probably understand neither.What's the story with people asking for proof and evidence?
If I tell you there is a monkey in your closet, would you believe me if I didn't prove it?What's the story with people asking for proof and evidence?
Do you care about whether your beliefs are true?What's the story with people asking for proof and evidence?
No. I'd likely only believe you if I saw it for myself.If I tell you there is a monkey in your closet, would you believe me if I didn't prove it?

You place no constraints upon what constitutes 'proof' or 'evidence'? How does that work for you?What I find more curious is why people ask for these things and then constrain the criteria of what constitutes proof or evidence to something so narrow that they will never receive it.
One makes evident, the other is best consigned to the the domains of math, law, and liquor.What is the difference between "proof" AND "evidence" ?:
While proof and evidence are two different things, In theory, suppositions given with even slight evidence are a bit more convincing than naked speculations. Even then though, it depends who is making the suggestion. If Stephen Hawking came out with some speculation in line with his area of expertise, I would give that naked speculation more merit than I would if the identical idea was made by a poster on RF. If Stephen Hawking came out with something highly speculative that was not within his area of expertise, I would tend to think about it, given the authority of the person making the statement, but not automatically assume it was the last word on the matter.What's the story with people asking for proof and evidence?
