Evidence has several forms

From the learnings of the 300-Million-Year Archive.

Archive propositions are examined beside scientific findings. Their different roles are kept visible; an official-looking page is not itself evidence.

What was observed or measured, under specified conditions.

A set of rules used to explain things and predict what happens next.

The Society's beliefs and stories, including the Archive's age. These carry religious meaning; they are not measured dates.

What evidence could be gathered? What result would require revision?

Examination: Is a statement a measurement, a model, or an Archive account? What evidence would strengthen it? What finding would require revision? Claims made by the Department are included.

Disagreement does not cancel the lunch entitlement.
