I was responding to the example with what was given and was supplied in a similar context (someone else making a claim).   It wasn't my comparison and I was only responding to the evidence of people making a claim, and not attempting further investigation.  If you are going to go that route, then I don't think that the claim it is raining outside, is comparable to the earth is round.  One takes more work to verify than the other.

But they can be verified. That's the thing.

With God, Jesus' resurrection, and all that, no.
