Lol, okay RR. So you're not going to try and equivocate between testimony and scientific evidence then? You're NOT implying that claims falling within the realm of the natural world are on equal turf with supernatural claims? These are not your positions?
I'll tell you what then. Why don't you do everyone a favor and come to what your point actually is, for once. That way you don't have to worry about being called out on the logical fallacies you commit. Eh? [emoji57]
I am saying that scientific testimony is testimony, and therefore the principles concerning testimony you hold to apply. If you are going to make a distinction between the descriptive word scientific or religious or whatever category you place before testimony then I think that you need to justify that difference rationally.

As I have stated before, I don't make this type of categorical a priori distinction, I believe the strength is determined by the individual evidence, and may be stronger or weaker depending on the individual case.
