Anecdotal Evidence

[brewer]

This is your idea of an adequate response to my post? If they are not "non-convincing or unbelievable" are you saying that you now believe? Or is this basically double talk so that you can maintain your thread position with a non answer?

What cherry picking data? What hasty generalization? What limited accounts" More double talk?

Go and believe your anecdotes, for your own reasons. Don't expect others to find those reasons rational or acceptable. Much the same as I find your reply.

It appears, that you are trying to argue for me, in order to attack some position more easily.   If you have a point, then perhaps you would be better off to state it plainly, rather than trying to focus on me.   I'm not trying to dance around anything, and I think that what you are trying to get at, was covered in the OP and hasn't changed.   I don't know what you mean by the double talk. 

And if you want to convince me of anything, you will need to provide some reason or argument.  An incredulous stare isn't going to cut it!

Again, I asked, you did not answer. So again:

"What in their anecdotal evidence do you not find convincing or believable?

And could you compare/contrast the differences between your "not normally" position with this case and in other cases (your choice) where it would be "yes" (choose your own word if you find yes not fitting).

What cherry picking data? What hasty generalization? What limited accounts?"

I am providing reason and argument. You seem to like side stepping it, you are doing your level best to keep dancing. We are past the OP. Saying go back to the beginning and start over is yet another dodge. You sound like someone who is unable to support their position. 

Look, I believe that you believe in anecdotes/testimony, accepting them as true with no other supporting evidence (faith?), and that is OK with me. My issue is when you try to convince me that I, and others, should accept your reasons for belief in testimony and give it credence. They are only acceptable to you, not I.

I think Cato got it right, your ploy to get us to accept religious testimony appears to have failed.
