Is There Value in Presenting Evidence?
Yes. A rational person must listen to the logic of evidence while freeing himself from prior assumptions and social pressure.
We will present the arguments of believers, then the objections of opponents, so that each view is examined against its counterpart.
Then we appeal to sound logic: which interpretation is closer to truth?
Two Types of Evidence: Rational and Transmitted
Believers commonly use two broad types of evidence: rational evidence and transmitted evidence.
Transmitted evidence refers to what is reported in the Qur’an and Sunnah, or in religious texts according to their adherents.
Rational evidence relies on logic and reflection on the universe, and it is more suitable when speaking with someone who does not accept religious sources to begin with.
