Quote:The principle of credulity actually dictates that we should believe you, until we are presented with evidence that you are making this up.
Because otherwise, if we were to accept Hume's criticism of miracles (that someone reporting events mistakenly is always more probable than that the laws of the universe were suspended for them) we are ruling out miracles a priori, it's question-begging.

My grandfather told me stories that had been passed down from his grandfather's grandfather. The story was about how my great ancestor was in a shootout with Wild Bill. My great ancestor was only 17 at the time and he thought he was the best shot in the world.Rahn it's seems you have attracted the crazies
He went up against Wild Bill and found out how wrong he was.
Wild Bill shot him dead and this was before he had taken a wife or had any children. They buried him in a shallow grave.
A few days later, family went to put flowers on the grave and found it empty. The body was gone. He had been resurrected some would say.
My family line is proof of that resurrection. If he hadn't come back to life, none of my ancestors would have been born.
Brooke, can you tell me what is wrong with believing that this story is factual and true ?
