We are not in a court of law; we are engaged in a debate where the philosophical divide established by Aristotle and predominant in the west for 2,500 years has been the standard. A claim to fact, and an opinion on morals and ethics and what is right and wrong are two very, very different things and have been recognized as such for many, many centuries.
