From the Errancy discussion list:
If
[the] documents assert that which is ordinary and within the realm of
empirical experiences, then we tend to give the documents the benefit of
the doubt and accept the claims at face value; however, if the
documents assert that which is extraordinary and completely beyond the
realm of empirical experiences, then we feel justified in rejecting the
claims. Even biblicists will apply this principle to all ancient
documents except for those that have been selected for inclusion in the
Bible.
