Witness Evidence

[robvalue]

(I don't care if the whole of the bible happened word for word. It makes no difference to me. I'd just be a theist rather than an atheist if it was true. Just thought I'd mention that.)

Yes I do apply the "science" to myself. I don't assume my memories are always correct. In fact, I've often overruled my memories as unreliable because I have reason to do so. But you want a false dichotomy where either my memories are totally reliable or worthless, to me. That's not reality, that's binary thinking which is sadly extremely common in debates with theists. I made a whole topic about it here. Whether or not a whole other person's testimony is reliable to me is a completely different question.

Whether it's reliable for a court, or for science, is yet another question. These are not all the same issue.
