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?
[quote]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.[/quote]
How come when I ask you to clearly state YOUR position, you answer by asking me to define terms for you? The only person who is placing "scientific" in front of the word "testimony" (either explicitly or implied) is you. I'll ask again, RR. Can you clearly state your position in this thread? (Hint: try using the word "you" less).
[quote]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.

So...your answer is yes, then. Why didn't you just say so?
