You act as if the lack of evidence you have provided is a strength for your contention. I am sure Tom Cruise feels the same way about thetans and Xenu.

Nope. I know what a contention is. I'm happy to know you are a mind reader neophyte. What color is your head scarf?

"I know what a contention is."

Without being supported by evidence one contention is no better than another. You act as if the fact that a contention doesn't have to be supported by evidence to be called a contention means that a contention doesn't need to be supported by evidence to be taken seriously. All claims/contentions are not created equally, nor do they all have equal value.

"I'm happy to know you are a mind reader neophyte."

Why does requiring a contention to be backed with evidence make me a would-be mind reader? Do YOU not require the contentions you take seriously to be supported by... something, anything?
