(5,764 posts)..is that you *don't have* a methodology. I've been asking you for it for a dozen posts now, your consistent desperate dodging around providing anything resembling an answer makes your lack of one abundantly clear.
You can repeat all day long that you think there is "evidence of" whatever supernatural event or entity you like. You are proving absolutely incapable of explaining how you determine that... unsurprising since in my experience the relationship between the thing someone is claiming as evidence of a supernatural event and the supernatural event in question is *entirely made up on the spot* by the person making the claim.
Typical form of such an exchange:
"Look! I saw a miracle! My aunt was sick and then someone prayed and then she got better"
"Oh? And how did you determine that her getting better has any relationship to someone having prayed that isn't a textbook example of post hoc ergo propter hoc?"
"....."
"So, nothing then?"
"Stop being so narrow minded! Someone prayed for her and then she got better! Clear evidence of a miracle! You just refuse to see what's right in front of your face!!"
Also, funny how abruptly we went from claiming I didn't know how to evaluate evidence to saying nobody was questing my methodology for evaluating evidence. But then this constant twisting and dodging and changing direction from you really doesn't have much of an element to surprise to it at this point does it?
