Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?

[Pat Mustard]

Why? It's a fact and there is no way around it. Arguing against the bible being the claim is like arguing against the holocaust.

Hmmm...what claim do Christians make that kind of defines the whole Christianity thing?
I know, I know...the Bible!

Finally, Steve gets it, the bible is the claim, not the evidence.

I'll make one more point, the bible itself goes to great pains to castigate anybody who looks to be presented with evidence, in the person of "doubting" (really should be "sensible and rational") Thomas, a basic admission even in the time of John (earliest date c125CE) that there is no evidence to be found.
