Anecdotal Evidence

[robvalue]

I'll be honest, what it seems like I'm seeing here is an attempt to bend science and standards of evidence so that religious beliefs become accepted as credible. This is what I see the danger as. Religious beliefs are not rational (in my opinion) so if the person tries to make themselves "consistent", they end up leaking further irrationality into their thinking. I don't know why this would be required. No one is stopping anyone believing anything they want. Believe Lord of the Rings really happened if you want. I won't stop you.

Again, I don't give a monkeys. Jesus did this that and the other, I don't care. He could turn up right now and I'd still not become a Christian. I'm struggling to see how this topic is anything but this, because of the lack of real world examples.

This is just my take on it. I've tried hard to see how this could be anything else. Otherwise it's just a general attempt to smear science; I don't know why. Yes, so and so someone reported could have happened. So what? If anyone can see anything more going on here, please point it out to me. I've tried not to be cynical. We appear to be descending into semantics rather than expanding into reality.

At 2:00 I talk a bit about what science is. I'm not claiming to be an authority. Just giving my take on things.
