And, within the parameters of your 'scientific evidence is nothing more than testimony, just like biblical scripture' fallacy, the most reasonable world view according to YOU as stated above is:
'None of us can be confident in either scientific conclusions or scripture claims since they are both just testimony; that the only thing which qualifies as "sufficient evidence" is physically seeing something with my own eyes.'
Yes?
Do realize that according to this position accepting bible scripture as true is unreasonable, and accepting that the earth revolves around the sun is EQUALLY as unreasonable? That seems rational to you? That seems logical to you?
No it doesn't... Which I have maintained all along.
Oh, okay, so you're changing the answer YOU chose from my hypothetical above. You think testimony IS reliable as evidence for things and since (according to you and your fallacy) scientific research and bible scripture are both testimony, which position do you think is most reasonable?
'Both scripture AND scientific research are equally sufficient evidence for things, and I accept some combination of both.'
OR
'I accept one over the other.'
