============
Evidence very seldom contains foregone conclusions
You're trying to sell the myth that _your_ conclusion is obvious and
immanently contained in the evidence.
As if one just has to look at the evidence and one is touched by the grace
of this evidence.
I disagree.
By the way,
I previously asked if Greek has any indication of Hjw with the meaning "to
be alive"
You may not have noticed this !?
