In that case we have alleged eye-witness accounts that were written decades after the supposed events by unknown authors with no way of checking the veracity of either the authors or the supposed witnesses. For a detective to pretend that this rises to the level of reliable eyewitness testimony is extraordinary. I'd rather say that it's sadly ordinary for otherwise rational, skilled, intelligent, knowledgeable, evidence-based people to drop all standards for reason and evidence when it comes to religion while still trying to pass off their beliefs as complying with those standards. I don't know how much of this is due to honest ignorance--as in they don't know they're being irrational and applying different standards--versus them being dishonest apologists looking for an angle. |
