Look guys ... one of the first things you get when you mention "extraordinary claims" to our theist friends is special pleading and, as Eilonnwy notes, the article (the first one found when one types "extraordinary evidence" into Google) is an exercise is special pleading (indeed, as apologetics, that is a speciality of CARM).

To my mind that is ironic (unless I have seriously misunderstood one fairly common usage of the word)!
