Is Eyewitness Testimony Reliable Evidence?
Dear Lenny, Ask any judge, prosecutor or defense attorney about the value of such first- hand accounts in a court of law and you will learn that they are the least reliable and consistently the most subjective of all evidence types. The second- or third-hand recounting of feverishly related long ago tales in the bible are no less suspect. Granted, much of biblical wisdom is logical and humanistic and of everyday value, but please spare us the ghost stories, rational adults are offended and children are deceived and manipulated by such faith marketing.
