Adduce:
to give reasons why you think something is true:
None of the evidence adduced in court was conclusive. [Cambridge Dictionary]
Noted in “Geocentric in Ghana: An Antiscience Lawsuit,” Glenn Branch, Skeptical Inquirer (September/October 2021, paywall?):
The bulk of the evidence [Johnson] Anane adduces against the motion of Earth and evolution is scriptural in nature: his motion teems with chapter-and-verse references to the Bible, although he ecumenically refers to the Qur’an once and the Bhagavad-Gita twice. A few sophistical arguments are also offered: for example, Anane quotes one dictionary as defining a planet as “a very round object in space” and another as defining space as the “region beyond the earth[’s] atmosphere,” triumphantly concluding that Earth is not a planet. Conspicuously lacking is any reference to scientific evidence.
I like the guy’s educational background:
… a lecturer in the Department of Wood Technology—which apparently specializes in carpentry, joinery, and furniture design and construction—at Sunyani Technical University. He is listed on the university’s website as having a bachelor of science degree in wood technology and management.
