Religion generally love woolly rhetoric, when appealing to mystery and magic is your bread and butter I can see why.
How is is it hyperbole to point out that a claim is a tautology?
It is semantically correct.
So if someone claims they saw a mermaid that’s evidence they saw a mermaid? I have to say I am dubious.
How does anyone’s opinion affect the objective fact that the earth is not flat, or that all living things evolve slowly over time? Again I must say I am dubious.
I just checked every major global news network, no one is running the story that consciousness independent of a functioning human brain has been demonstrated?
No, it is my opinion the earth is not flat, but it is not solely my opinion, as it reflects an objective fact as well.
So mermaids are real then if someone claims their experience saw them? Again I can only remain dubious that this is a realistic standard, I could claim I have experienced a deity and it laughed at your claims as false, if one accepts personal experience as sufficient evidence for credulity one would have to believe both contradictory claims, and violate the law of non-contradiction.
That is evidence, we can also see consciousness is impaired when the brain is impaired. We also have the fact we never experienced consciousness before our brains started functioning etc etc. There is no objective evidence that human consciousness can survive the death of the human brain, none. So of course we wouldn’t need any evidence to disbelieve that claim.
No there isn’t, again just turn on any news channel and you will see this hyperbole is groundless.
