On: Virgin births in animals are no longer rare

>Sure, but when investigating events of a certain magnitude, you would more likely have a bigger group of individuals who have witnessed said event.

The Torah claims a million witnesses for the revelation at Sinai. I don't see anyone rushing off to become Jewish.

It occurs to me that "number of purported eye-witnesses" may not be a good evidentiary standard.

You are absolutely correct, it is not just about quantity, but the quality of the witnesses as well. How trustworthy are they? How good is their memory? Do they have any biases? Etc.
