“Consciousness is never experienced in the plural, only in the singular. Not only has none of us ever experienced more than one consciousness, but there is also no trace of circumstantial evidence of this ever happening anywhere in the world. If I say that there cannot be more than one consciousness in the same mind, this seems a blunt tautology - we are quite unable to imagine the contrary...” IfsWorldMindSeemsConsciousnessImagineHappeningsEvidenceContraryBluntTautologyCircumstantial Evidence Author:Erwin Schrodinger
“David Irving has consistenly applied an evidential double standard, demanding absolute documentary proof to convict the Germans (as when he sought to show that Hitler was not responsible for the Holocaust), while relying on circumstantial evidence to condemn the British (as in his account of the Allied bombing of Dresden).” ShowsStandardsEvidenceAccountsAbsolutesResponsibleBritishProofHolocaustDocumentariesBombingDouble StandardBritish HistoryDresdenConvictsCircumstantial Evidence Book:History in Our Time Source: History in Our Time
“Even the clearest and most perfect circumstantial evidence is likely to be at fault, after all, and therefore ought to be received with great caution. Take the case of any pencil, sharpened by any woman; if you have witnesses, you will find she did it with a knife; but if you take simply the aspect of the pencil, you will say that she did it with her teeth.” IfsPerfectCasesOughtEvidenceAspectFaultsTeethWitnessKnivesPencilsCautionCircumstantial Evidence Author:Mark Twain
“Circumstantial evidence is a very tricky thing.

“Witness testimony is always flawed. It's better than circumstantial evidence, sure, but people aren't camcorders; they don't record every action and reaction, and the very act of remembering involves chosing words, actions and images. In other words, any witness who was supposed to be giving a court facts is really just giving them a version of fiction.” PeopleGivingFactsActionRememberFictionRecordsEvidenceCourtReactionsVersionsWitnessSupposed To BeTestimonyFlawedAction And ReactionCircumstantial Evidence Author:Jodi Picoult

“There exists a mountain of circumstantial evidence that consciousness survives bodily death. This is the kind of evidence that would stand up in a court of law. Some people believe that science needs better tools to quantify what consciousness is. Perhaps when we discover what consciousness is we will be on the road to providing absolute scientific evidence that there is life after death.” PeopleNeedsBelieveKindLawConsciousnessMountainEvidenceToolsAbsolutesCourtProvidingAfter DeathLife After DeathNear DeathScientific EvidenceCircumstantial Evidence Author:Jean Ritchie
