Dismissing witness testimony is the mistake all unbelievers make when it comes to evidence for the doctrines of Christianity.
(And before someone comes along and tries to equate Christian testimony to such supernatural events -- which is empirical (meaning observed and experienced in the real world by real people) -- with supposed similar testimony to other religious beliefs, forget it, it's not. NO other religion is based on multiple witness testimony to supernatural events, it's all just flat -out assertions to this or that, or instructions in the spiritual life or the moral life. ONLY Biblical revelation is based on the testimony by multiple witnesses to actual occurrences in the real world of a supernatural sort. It is THIS faith that Jesus' showed through Thomas' disbelief that we are to have. It's not a baseless empty "faith" -- it's a faith in realities that we'd otherwise have no access to.
