"What in their anecdotal evidence do you not find convincing or believable?
I normally do believe that they where vaccinated, and where diagnosed with autism shortly after.

Quote:What cherry picking data? What hasty generalization? What limited accounts?"
Cherry picking data, means that you are only taking the data which supports your case, while ignoring that which does not.
Hasty Generalization and limited accounts I guess is kind of redundant. It means forming a general conclusion, based on a small sample size.
Evasive again. This is the act of the desperate.
I'll put it this way, biblical testimony is lacking in evidence. Even if it was first person evidence (which I believe it is not) I will not believe it based on any position that you have put forward in this thread.
There is no cherry picking data from the anti-vaxers, it is there for all to see. Plus, if you thought the "vaccination/autism" testimony was cherry picked, I said you could pick another case (look above-said "your choice") but you declined. Another act of desperation. And there are not "limited accounts" from the anti-vaxers, as I said there are thousands if not more. That is not a small sample size. You are making an application that is incorrect, desperation, desperation, desperation.
And then, "not sure what you are asking". One more desperate act of playing ignorant. I asked if you could explain how you came to the "not normally" belief statement regarding "vaccination causes autism" and how this compares to any other testimony for any case of your choice (note: not cherry picking) where you could make a "yes" belief statement. And then compare and contrast the evidence that has you come to a different conclusion for each case. Can you understand this?
Again, if you want to believe in biblical testimony, I don't care. Just stop playing ignorant. I find it irritating because I don't believe that you are ignorant but using it as a ploy. If it continues then I'll be left with no choice but to bring your intelligence into question.
If you can't answer directly then you have no answers and should stop.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
