Symbolize "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"
This isn't homework. I was bored and ran across a blog that claimed the statement, "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" wasn't logical. It seems like common sense to me, so I was going to try prove it to be valid with symbolic predicate logic (again, I was bored), but I quickly became confused on how to correctly symbolize it in a way that I could prove it.
So, how would one symbolize this statement?
