This is dribble.
I think you mean "drivel". Both imply a flowing liquid, but only the latter includes meaningless talk.

I certainly hope your other sources don't receive their information from a source YOU can't directly test. If that's the case, then they sound like the typical con man who's only evidence for their claim is "Just trust me".
On a personal note that was the first argument that my father used when I told him I saw no reason to be a Christian.
I think that a guiding line when getting your information is if the source of your information wants you to alter your behavior. When a scientist tells me that they found a new type of bird on an island that has adapted to its environment in an interesting way I tend to believe them. When a preacher tells me I will burn forever if I curse I tend not to believe them. If they want something out of you there is a clear motivation to lie.
