Anecdotal Evidence

Empirical evidence that somebody just doesn't want to look at.

Manray: "Is your name Patrick Star?"
Patrick: "Yes"
Manray: "...and is this your ID?"
Patrick: "Yes"
Manray: "Good, because I found this ID in this wallet, so if that's the case, this must be your wallet!"
Patrick: "But that's anecdotal evidence!"

Evidence

There is a difference between not actively having evidence with you and there not being any evidence. And a difference, again, between those 2 thing and hiding evidence deliberately explicitly so you can ask where the evidence is to make a banal point about religious uncertainty.

Hym "Additionally, if I say "I have evidence in a safe under my bed' and you refuse to check the safe and prevent me from opening the safe... That is ALSO not the absence of evidence. But your Jew ancestors did lie. They did not talk to the creator of the universe at any point in time. If God exists and it has fore-knowledge... Talking to the people you created would be akin to talking to movie you've already watched."

Carlson Evidence

Shocking or damning evidence that has to the potential to fundamentally affect an outcome, but that the holder can't ever show you.

"He argued he had Carlson evidence proving he did not steal the petty cash from his employer, that he had copies of it, and it would clear his name, but he could never show it to anyone because the only copy was lost."
