Just one small teensy note of clarification: I usually only insult
people who disagree with me when they are/have been complete assholes
about it. Which fortunately narrows the field down a bit.

I can testify to this, as I disagree with Doug often and he only insults
me when he's being a complete asshole about it <grin>!

You say that as if everyone agrees on the scientific sense of the
term,
which of course they don't. Even reputable scientists disagree on
what
constitutes evidence. I know you're willing to insult anyone with
whom
you disagree. But the fact remains that standards of evidence differ
depending on the context of the discussion, the domain of inquiry,
etc.
Evidence in, say, cosmology or evolution is very different from
evidence
in, say, biology or physics. And that's without leaping out into the
softer sciences.
