Said of certain kinds of | | testimony which juries are supposed to | | be unfit to be entrusted with, and | | which judges, therefore, rule out, even | | of proceedings before themselves alone. | | Hearsay evidence is inadmissible | | because the person quoted was unsworn | | and is not before the court for | | examination; yet most momentous | | actions, military, political, | | commercial and of every other kind, are | | daily undertaken on hearsay evidence. | | There is no religion in the world that | | has any other basis than hearsay | | evidence. Revelation is hearsay | | evidence; that the Scriptures are the | | word of God we have only the testimony | | of men long dead whose identity is not | | clearly established and who are not | | known to have been sworn in any sense. | | Under the rules of evidence as they now | | exist in this country, no single | | assertion in the Bible has in its | | support any evidence admissible in a | | court of law... | | | | But as records of courts of justice are | | admissible, it can easily be proved | | that powerful and malevolent magicians | | once existed and were a scourge to | | mankind. The evidence (including | | confession) upon which certain women | | were convicted of witchcraft and | | executed was without a flaw; it is | | still unimpeachable. The judges' | | decisions based on it were sound in | | logic and in law. Nothing in any | | existing court was ever more thoroughly | | proved than the charges of witchcraft | | and sorcery for which so many suffered | | death. If there were no witches, human | | testimony and human reason are alike | \ destitute of value. --Ambrose Bierce / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
