reliability of eye-witness accounts

YOU are missing the point.The question isn't whether you should trust your eyes or not. The question is whether you should trust your recollection of what your eyes saw or not. Welcome to the real world, where you sometimes have to admit that you were wrong. This is a trait that, I think, you seem to lack.I know for a fact that I have suffered from false memory syndrome before. I also know for a fact that there are many people I know who have suffered from false memory syndrome.Unfortunately, I do know some people that still think their memory is a tape recorder.

Insults? Where did you get that idea? See, you just demonstrated how untrustworthy your memory can be. Oh great, you just turned a conversation about memory into evolution/creation debate. See why I don't have much respect for you?Remember your definition of what makes a person wise? You are certainly becoming wiser, according to your definition.

This is exactly what I was talking about. An educated intellectual should know that it is always wise to be careful with what he remembers. False memory syndrome can happen to anyone. Noone is immune to it.I have a friend that has somewhat of a photographic memory. She could tell you the first 100 digits of pi (pie) forward and backward. And yet, there have been some instances where we have debated some things and she admitted to remembering some things wrong.You are coming off from the premise that "I am always right" and you base all your arguments from that premise. Isn't it time you consider the possibility that you might be wrong in some things, including your own memory?

Do you always dodge the main point in real life conversations?

Do you practice giving out random unsupported beliefs? Mind giving me the specific bible reference to this statement?
