The previous blogpost mentioned that evidence is ultimately a set of REASONING(s) that justifies a claim. What, then, is reasoning?

Reasoning is the act of showing what claims or conclusions can be produced from one or more pieces of information (also known as premises).

An example of reasoning:

Information/Premise 1: If it was raining in the last one hour, then the outdoor trees would be wet now.

Information/Premise 2: The outdoor trees are not wet now.

Conclusion/Claim: Therefore it was not raining in the last one hour.

The evidence for the claim “it was not raining in the last one hour” would be the set of reasoning presented above.
