Why believe the bible?

[Mister Agenda]

That you accept hearsay claims from decades after the purported events as evidence of said events says more to your credulity than anything else.

Hearsay is not evidence Steve-o. No matter how much you deperately want it to be.

Except Bastard-o...there is actually a term called 'hearsay evidence'...you should write someone about getting that corrected.

And it's typically not admitted in court because it is hearsay evidence, except for very specific exceptions. If someone says someone else told them you committed the murder, you should hope you've got the kind of lawyer that will point out that the statement is hearsay and therefore inadmissible.
