Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?
#99
RE: Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?
For evidence to be valid, it not only must exist, it cannot be evidence of something else. And it's that last clause that always trips up theists when they whine about us scoffing at the supernatural. You need to first demonstrate that what's happening isn't actually yet undiscovered natural phenomena (and let's face it - transforming the once-miraculous into the mundane is what science does).

Good luck with that.
