A great many different people give "testimony" about a great many different things, many of them contradictory. Is the Christian's testimony more valid than the Muslim's? In a trial a person's testimony is about what he saw happen, when it is confirmed something actually happened, and is invalid without concrete evidence. Ten people swearing they saw Joe murder Bob is on enough to convict Joe if there is no body, and no other evidence that Bob is even dead. Perhaps Bob went into hiding. Perhaps Bob framed Joe. Perhaps Joe is very good at it. In the end, many accused criminals have gotten off for that very reason.

So no, testimony without concrete evidence is worthless. Maybe some are lying, maybe to themselves. More likely is that people assign motives to happenings that are really random chance. Without any real evidence it's kind of hard to tell

As I've said, I used to believe strongly, then began to see that happenings I attributed to Divine intervention were just as likely to be lucky accidents. I'm not saying it's not true. I'm saying I don't know, and from what I can tell neither do you, or anyone else. Believing is fine for you, but I need some real evidence.
