  From  THE  DEVIL'S  DICTIONARY  ((C)1911  Released  April  15  1993)  [devils]: 
 
  INADMISSIBLE,  adj  Not  competent  to  be  considered.  Said  of  certain 
  kinds  of  testimony  which  juries  are  supposed  to  be  unfit  to  be 
  entrusted  with  and  which  judges,  therefore,  rule  out  even  of 
  proceedings  before  themselves  alone.  Hearsay  evidence  is  inadmissible 
  because  the  person  quoted  was  unsworn  and  is  not  before  the  court  for 
  examination;  yet  most  momentous  actions,  military,  political, 
  commercial  and  of  every  other  kind  are  daily  undertaken  on  hearsay 
  evidence.  There  is  no  religion  in  the  world  that  has  any  other  basis 
  than  hearsay  evidence.  Revelation  is  hearsay  evidence;  that  the 
  Scriptures  are  the  word  of  God  we  have  only  the  testimony  of  men  long 
  dead  whose  identity  is  not  clearly  established  and  who  are  not  known 
  to  have  been  sworn  in  any  sense  Under  the  rules  of  evidence  as  they 
  now  exist  in  this  country,  no  single  assertion  in  the  Bible  has  in  its 
  support  any  evidence  admissible  in  a  court  of  law.  It  cannot  be 
  proved  that  the  battle  of  Blenheim  ever  was  fought,  that  there  was 
  such  as  person  as  Julius  Caesar,  such  an  empire  as  Assyria. 
  But  as  records  of  courts  of  justice  are  admissible,  it  can  easily 
  be  proved  that  powerful  and  malevolent  magicians  once  existed  and  were 
  a  scourge  to  mankind.  The  evidence  (including  confession)  upon  which 
  certain  women  were  convicted  of  witchcraft  and  executed  was  without  a 
  flaw;  it  is  still  unimpeachable.  The  judges'  decisions  based  on  it 
  were  sound  in  logic  and  in  law.  Nothing  in  any  existing  court  was 
  ever  more  thoroughly  proved  than  the  charges  of  witchcraft  and  sorcery 
  for  which  so  many  suffered  death.  If  there  were  no  witches,  human 
  testimony  and  human  reason  are  alike  destitute  of  value.
