Anecdotal Evidence

[LadyForCamus]

RR, you're being stupid, is the point.  Cops exist.  Guns exist.  Cops shoot people sometimes.  How do I know these things are facts?  Because I wake up every day, leave my house, and interact with the physical world around me.  I mean...the fact you even asked such an assanine question in the first place; that someone should have to explain to you the difference between a claim that police offers exist versus a claim that a human being came back from the dead after three days, completely exposes how dishonest you are being.  

It's either dishonesty, or it's the simple fact that you're happy to follow logic and reason along any road it leads you, until you spot that giant cross blocking your path.  Easier to just veer left or right into the dark, uncharted forest of irrationality than face that road block head on, right?

I never said, that cops nor firearms do not exist.  However the point is, that testimony either is or is not evidence. Perhaps you are confused, because I'm not discussing Christianity or any specific claims regarding religion. Only principles about testimony as evidence. Does that change your stance on testimony as evidence?

I don't think anyone here is arguing that testimony cannot ever be considered evidence, RR. The point was, testimony ALONE, especially in the cases of claims that defy what we know about science and reality, is insufficient. Supporting evidence should be required to accept the claim. If you want to be a rational person, that is.
