In the context of the discussion all I am arguing for is that similar claims, should be treated fairly and consistently. I do agree, that where you can physically verify the claim for yourself, then it is good to do so. However for many thing is this large world, we cannot do that with.

Although according to some, in the Witness Evidence thread I started, your observation that it is or is not raining my not be reliable.

Then how about you start talking to other Christians first? And come back here when you all get your story straight.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
