What claim? That eye witness testimony is not sufficient evidence to believe certain truth claims? I mean, what difference does it make whether we call it 'evidence' or not, anyway? Arguing for a label doesn't automatically legitimize or bolster the content of what you're labeling. I asked Steve this question in his thread: what's the practical difference between lousy evidence and no evidence at all?
Incidentally, I don't think anyone in this thread has made the assertion (that you seem to be implying) that eyewitness testimony is useless. That's not my position, at least. But, I don't think there is any way to honestly follow this discussion through without ending back at claims of the supernatural, do you?
