Or to put it more plainly, but with more verbiage, the more implausible an event, the more evidence is required to prove it actually happened.
1. I had beef for dinner tonight (probably most people will believe it just on my say-so).
2. I won the Nobel Prize. ---At a minimum you're going to want to look this one up.
3. I have a cure diabetes. --- If you have any sense you are going to want to see the clinical trials.
4. There is a dragon in my basement. --- Photos, videos, and an some eyewitnesses minimum.
5. Miracle. --- Repeated clinical tests, minimum.
What we tend to get? Credulous eyewitnesses to things a magician might do on stage usually told third hand four centuries ago.
