Absence of Evidence does not mean evidence of absence
by Manish Gupta on Sep 18, 2007 11:07 PM

Are we Sure that technology/Science have achieved everything that it wants to achieve? If Yes, why are we having a R&D centers and Technological department. Are we sure that Archaeological Departments have discovered everything? If not then we should give the benefit of doubt based on the book(Ramayan) which existed long before modern science and Archeological departments. One thing I find strange is people are talking about RAM without talking about Valmiki. Do we have any proof of Valmiki? Probably the answer is NO, but still Ramayan exist! what does this indicate? This means absence of evidence is not the evidence of existence. Govt should first tell us who was Valmiki before raising any questions on RAM.

Regarding the no scientific proofs, Can anybody give us the proof that there was a scientific study done to check the existence of RAM?
