Paradox of the Raven

The Paradox of the Raven is a logic puzzle questioning how evidence supports general statements. For example, if we say "All ravens are black" and see a black raven, that confirms the statement. Interestingly, seeing a green apple (which is not a raven) also confirms that all non-black objects are non-ravens, which indirectly supports the original claim. The paradox highlights the peculiar way evidence can support or confirm theories, revealing that observing seemingly unrelated things can still influence our conclusions about the world. It raises questions about how evidence confirms general beliefs in philosophy and scientific reasoning.
