Anecdotal Evidence

[bennyboy]

Not cut and dry?  Okay.  RR, thousands of people report being abducted by aliens, and subjected to experiments of a sexual nature.

Credible?  Evidence?

That sounds a lot like a trap, for exactly the type of concrete thinking, I'm trying to get around here.

Preliminary dismissal, based on the content, rather than the individual facts and descriptions.

RR, I gotta give you kudos for your patience.

However, it's still clear that you are trying to lay the groundwork for religious testimony as evidence of Jesus and/or God.

The fact is that we sometimes use testimonials or anecdotes as evidence, but that we know it's a particularly weak form of evidence.  If we really care about getting at absolute truth, then we need something more than that.
