I recently listened to a defense attorney making claims about how personal experience and eye-witness testimony are the best kind of evidence you can possibly have, in defense of Christianity.

If your religion dictates that you must believe in miracles being real, you will have to break yourself in colorful ways in order to do so.

It's possibly the best kind of evidence you can have for convincing jurors. It certainly is not the best kind you can have for recreating what really happened.
