No. Testimony needs to be backed up by evidence. It alone cannot stand as evidence.

Nope. If it makes a difference to you that is personal. Objectively it makes no difference.

And so far you have not done anything to differentiate the actual claims. You have only criticized the claimers to justify your belief in it in one way or another. That is a fallacy.
Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. -Alice
