Reply #16: In normal standards of proof and evidence, something that requires extraordinary evidence [View All]

is something so against what we know/so unlikely to be correct, that even a lot of the errors we can't see are more likely.

Also, if you wanted to prove God exists (for example), so many people have such an emotional investment in the matter (ie. want to find a proof, want to believe the proof is true) that if someone were to come up with a proof, it would have to be subjected to intense scrutiny.
