Science and technology is advanced by a tiny community of humans, relative to the species as a whole. I don't think it works as evidence for "more often", rather it is evidence for the amazing results that can come when the truth wins even within a small group.

The question was not "do you have evidence the truth wins more often than lies for the species as a whole"; there was no specific context implied as I read it. So, do you have evidence lies win more often than the truth for the species as a whole?
>> Do you have evidence that the truth more often than not win over lies?

>The existence of technology as well as science.

Simply put, the second statement is not evidence to satisfy the request in the first statement.
