Knowing is work
So evidence must be compiled. There must be more than one piece of data. We must investigate, examine observe and continue to seek understanding. To often a case is not even made, rather a suggestion at best. This is one of the reasons that a debate about weather or not truth exists is even possible. Those who seek to shake the foundations of life bring a collection of evidence to the fore and suggest that a few pieces of evidence are enough to shatter all human history and understanding simply because they have discovered that things are not always as they seem. Such discoveries do not nullify truth, rather they inform it. Discovering that our methods of observation can be misleading does not mean that truth cannot be observed. Rather it reveals another aspect of the nature of truth. Namely that observation, work and a real desire to know truth must be continually re-prioritized lest our work become the important thing. Ego is an enemy of truth.
