The reason I relate this to the court system is because it reminds me of a mock trial I was once part of in school. I forget the exact details now but I was the defense lawyer. After hearing tons and tons of information and arguements from the prosecution it was my turn to step up and present my case. Realizing they had said nothing that "proved" my client was guilty I simply said as much and sat down.

The mock jury decided to find my client guilty and that is where my teacher stepped up. He asked why they found him guilty and they said it was because I hadn't "proven" my case, that the other team had a better arguement. That is when he decided to override their decision and sided with me because of course it is "innocent until proven guilty" and not the other way around.

So you may have a very strong arguement Malleus, hell I probably agree with you, but you still haven't proven anything so Cooleyvol is still correct ("innocent"). He doesn't have to EVER say anything either because no matter how much you present you can never prove something like that. You may very well be correct but the simple fact is we will never know...

Well maybe if their is a god we can ask him one day I suppose.
