Same standard for the most part, but depends on the subject a bit. Like if discussing God’s existence that’s one subject and if discussing which religion did He institute that’s another. Like obviously we haven’t met the people personally who helped institute our religion. But we have their writings and firsthand accounts of what to practice and what was shown to them directly from God to tell to us. If asking for evidence of God’s existence however it’s a tad different, we can use evidence in nature itself. We can use testimonies too, but I don’t accept testimonies that contradict other testimonies that’s already known to be from God for example.
does your faith allow for the possibility that whatever was speaking to those people directly and they interpreted as God mightve been what we would call an alien today?
