Faith writes:
All you have to do to "test" my facts is believe the witnesses, or the authorities as Robin puts it. Instead of raising a zillion objections to what they are saying, just make like a little child and believe that they are telling you the truth. It's that simple, as jar is so fond of saying about a bunch of other stuff.
But Faith, don't you see that this means that I can claim as fact that gnomes exist, and the only thing you have to do to test my fact is believe the witnesses. There are a lot of "witnesses" of gnomes, you know. Now, my argument may sound a bit silly because it involves gnomes. But it is the exact same argument as yours, which is about God.
