not‚ Richard Swinburne has suggested two principles that may be used to assess claims about religious experiences. First‚ he suggested what he calls that ‘principle of credulity’. Swinburne argued that‚ other things being equal‚ we have good reason to believe what a person tells us is correct. In general‚ if a person tells us that they can see a cat crossing the road‚ we believe them‚ even if we have not seen the event. Even if only one person sees the event‚ they still count. Swinburne says “the principle
