Cross-cultural convergence(used to describe similar moral rules across societies): When different cultures that developed separately from each other arrive at the same or very similar ideas or practices.
Lewis's network-based evidential standard(a framework for deciding if religious experiences should count as evidence for something real): A way of judging whether something is true based on how well it connects to and supports other things we know, rather than requiring isolated proof—developed by philosopher David Lewis.
Transformative consistency(describing how religious experiences tend to change people in similar patterns): When something reliably causes meaningful change in people's lives in the same kinds of ways, over and over again.
evidential standard(as used in epistemology): A rule or criterion for deciding what counts as good enough evidence to believe something is true.
