Is Accepting Christian Evidence Special Pleading?

[LadyForCamus]

And as we've talked about before, not all claims are created equally.  Are they?

Wait, what? Are you saying that some testimony is evidence? I really can't follow you. You just clearly said that "No one here (except Road) accepts premise 1." There is a name for creating an exception for things without justification...it's coming to me...damn, lost it. 

I could have sworn we'd talked about this.  Testimony, by itself, is only evidence that a claim is being made, and I have said as much. No one here is disputing that Christianity makes claims.  It is not evidence for the truth of those claims.  And the more extraordinary the claim (such as those that defy what we know about the laws of physics and biology), the better the evidence should be in support of that claim. Do we often accept low risk and inconsequential testimony in the absence of corroborating evidence? Sure. We have to live daily life, after all.
