Testimony is Evidence

[SteveII]

The billions of human actions, interactions, and conversations that do not have a lasting or meaningful effect on the physical world that could be examined at a later time...that happen every minute of the day.

If they don't have a lasting or meaningful effect, why in the fuck would anyone care about testimony for them? Further, why would anyone even question them? Good old christer dodge. As us ignoring the first half of my post. Are your standards of evidence so incredibly low that even you care not to defend them?

Read more carefully. I said "lasting or meaningful effect on the physical world that could be examined at a later time". Each of these phrases carry meaning. What they clearly do not mean is:

1. that the actions, interactions, and conversions were not meaningful--they could could be very meaningful and could contain very important truth of a matter. 
2. that the actions, interactions, and conversations did not have an effect on the physical world--only that they "could not be examined at a later time"

Regarding the first half of your post, this is a general discussion on testimony as evidence and not on a particular body of evidence--that would be a whole different topic in a different sub-forum.
