[[In the absence of corroborating evidence, I would not accept eyewitness testimony for any really important decision making, especially if it conflicts with my understanding of the way the world works.]]

Hmmm- that’s a wee bit too skeptical- simply discounting a great many independant eyewitness accounts- There are even secular eyewitness accounts confirming some miracles of Christ- but you’d want what? a complete investigation with expert witnesses? First, we’re not talking about someone losing hteir life here- not sure why the high demand you’re placing on this?

Secondly, If you’ve got the time- Read through this .pdf (Adobe Acrobat file) that talks about hte reliability of eyewitnesses, and the refutation of Humes, a pretty famous philosopher, who apparently claimed eyewitnesses couldn’t be trusted. It’s very enlightening, and not too difficult to follow- it’s a good read. http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~howardd/miracles.pdf

[[When someone comes up with a radical idea like cold fusion, it’s not anti-science to say, “I think you’ve made an error. Show us your procedure so we can try to replicate your findings.”]]

It’s not? Hmmm- Seems Coyoteman doesn’t agree with you- We’re all called antiscience because we point out hte obvious errors and blatant misrepresentations when it comes to Macroevolution

I have repeatedly asked for your best single argument against evolution. And no one has responded to the simple question of what prevents changes from accumulating.
