Personally, I think that for many of the atheist who keep trying to force the conversation to be about God, and are so concerned with unspoken motivation; shows that they are more focused and influenced by this than I.I've very clearly stated why I think so.
Quote:If you want to talk about the value of eye witness testimony. It has value in that apart from many other forms of evidence (except for maybe video or audio recording), it can tell you a lot more about what happened, not just the results. Testimony can tell you what was said or what lead up to the event in question. It can tell you if it was self defense, or who instigated things. If other people witnessed the event, or where involved. It can point you to other evidence, that you did not know about, and can tell you about what happened elsewhere. It can tell you why there is particular physical evidence present which may point you in the wrong direction. It tells you about things that did not leave any physical evidence. Basically, it may give you a more complete picture, than indirect evidence alone and the inferences that may follow.Why do you want to talk about this? You've made an OP (not even the first one) and participated for 20 pages. I think at this point, we can assume that you are motivated to discuss the issue. Why? How is it that you have this deep a fascination with witness testimony, but cannot provide an actual example that you think merits consideration?
