How to argue this point?

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Thanks for your initial replies guys... That video is priceless Coldwx.

In response to some of your comments Fidel, this is exactly what he posted on my timeline if it makes any difference.

"Alright then Steve, well would you believe me if I told you that I severely injured my spine in 1985 which left me with a severely slipped disc , 11 yrs later whilst chatting with the Pastor of my Church , he prayed over me and I felt four fingers and a thumb ( felt as if they were made out of pins and needles , best way I can describe it ) enter my back and straighten it , never had the slightest problem since, in fact I couldn't be a Personal Trainer now deadlifting 150kg , with a slipped disc which could pop out sometimes if I just sneezed. Btw I felt the hand enter my back when the Pastor said ' In the name of Jesus !"

Cheers.

My simple response is that personal testimony is irrelevant. You could equally claim that you were born with 4 arms but you prayed to Odin and he hammered them off (?).

Again, an initial diagnosis of his ailment coupled with a report from a qualified clinician that his back problems are no longer there would be a start (and only a start).

Otherwise you can say there's nothing in his testimony that is believable except that he may or may not have had a back issue at some point. 'Extraordinary claims' and all that.
