The undeniable miracle at Fatima

[KevinM1]

Eyewitness testimonies are the weakest form of evidence.  They're typically used as a means to justify the gathering of forensic evidence rather than something to hinge a case on.  There have been many studies on the failings of eyewitness testimony, including but not limited to:

Humans focusing on a particular thing during the event in question, thereby missing other details and trying to extrapolate from incomplete information, usually resulting in an incorrect recollection (https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/07/...ten-wrong/)

The ability of people to be induced into remembering crimes they didn't commit: (https://arstechnica.com/science/2015/01/...committed/)

Etc.

Moreover, if the sun actually danced and spun, well, we wouldn't be here to talk about it.  Astronomy is a thing.  You can't just yank a star around without serious repercussions.

Also, no one else on that side of the planet saw a damn thing.  You'd think the sun acting crazy would be noticed by everyone under the sun at the time.  Nope.

Of course, even the witness testimony doesn't line up.  Some said that the sun moved in a spiral.  Others said it moved east to west.  Yet others said it danced.  You'd think their stories would line up better than "Yeah, man, the sun totes moved.  Like whoa."

So, please spare us the inanity.  It's a tired story, one that has more holes than the cheese in my fridge.
