Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence

When was the last time we encountered extraordinary evidence? All scientific breakthroughs in this day and age are cool and exciting but that's about it.

Extraordinary claims of woo in the bible are NEVER going to be accompanied by evidence, extraordinary or otherwise.
I'm starting to sense that the term "extraordinary evidence"  is something akin to "supernatural evidence" ...
The only kind of evidence "extraordinary claims of woo" can ever seem to surmount is eyewitness testimony. Although this admittedly can be very interesting - case in point (^case in point^) - it basically puts alleged divine miracles on par with NDEs and UFO encounters.
