We get that. It's RR, Steve-o and others of their ilk who don't. They want to elevate testimony at least to the level of physical evidence, if not above it. At least Steve-o is transparent in his motives. He wants hearsay to be accepted as testimony and testimony to be accepted as at least as good as physical evidence so his belief in fairy tales can be more easily justified. I suspect the same of RR despite his protestations. He claims to be interested in the atheist perspective because so he claims to have never heard of this viewpoint outside of atheism. Of course this is a lie since it has been pointed out to him that courts are starting to caution jurists on the pitfalls of witness testimony.
What I don't understand is why they don't just trot out the old "gawd sed it, I buleeve it, that setles it" argument. Then we can just point, laugh and move the fuck on.
