All you get is a book overview. In the US we can get most of chapter 11 of the book which goes into much more detail than I have on the 10 reasons why we know the NT writers told the truth. Those that can't get Chapter 11 can always buy the whole 420 page book cited in post #1 for 9 bucks for a used copy on Amazon.

It's a funny read, but I wouldn't waste money on it.

The book forward starts out by trying to claim that "university" is a contraction of the words Unity and Diversty. And the ties to reality just unfurled from there.

Oh, and the reason why martyrs for other religions don't count but the martyrs for Christianity do count? It's a perfect example of special pleading circular reasoning.

I doubt you own or read the whole book but aren't you curious what Geisler has to say about Steven Hawkings Imaginary time, Heidelberger's Uncertainty Principle, NASA's Robert Jastrow's writings, the Law of Causation etc.

Why would I read this book when I can read Hawking, et. al. directly?

I know you aren't fond of primary sources, but that does not mean the rest of us are as sloppy when it comes to research and education.

Maybe in the future, but since it is only me against so many skeptics I could probably take a month to respond to all the posts that have been directed at me. I wish I had the time, but I should get to some others. Unfortunately if I reread the thread, and respond to a post that I might have missed some people complain too much time has gone by. They are more concerned about the time that has gone by then my answer to the post.

But new info sometimes comes out when I respond to a post, an example of new important info coming out in this thread was one of Harvard Law School founders Simon Greenleaf's book on the strength of the NT evidence... Other evidence that has come out is that many archaeologists say that the {empty} tomb of Jesus is most likely under the Church of the Holy Sepluchre.

Which archaeologists? Christian ones I bet! How can anyone claim to know the burial tombs location when there are no records of such.

Obviously DOC wouldn't bring this into the discussion unless it's related to proof the NT writers, etc.
Could you give us an idea of what Geisler says, DOC?
Perhaps over in the S&T forum they'd be interested in giving this material a gander, as well.

Yup, and also in which case I wouldn't be posting my screenies in a public forum. ;)

Seriously though, I think I had a right to react with some disbelief.

This was the original quote:

Those outside of the US will not be able to get info from the above website

Now, the fact is, when I clicked on the provided link, the page in my screenshot appeared, with all the book's details and an overview.

I mistook that for information, you see. It could have happened to anyone.

Either that or, as I said, Doc was wrong. Meh. I'll concede on the technicality; It won't be the last slip of the fingers to come along in the thread

;)

Yeah, but why would I do that when it's in the $1 bin at the local charity book exchange.

Truth to tell, I wouldn't buy it even at that price. Not when it's competing against the PSP version of Gran Turismo for my pocket money.

You mean you haven't read all 6633 posts in this thread? :eek:


ETA: Just one example.

I think we've been round the google.books problem at least 2 or 3 times; it certainly took DOC more than once to realise what the problem was, and now you're confusing him. Shame on you!

So the fact that it might affect how you spend eternity is not worth one dollar?
 
The fact that I know it won't is free. and yet it's worth more than all the natron in Nubia.


ETA: You may have missed it Doc, but you aren't talking to an atheist here. MY god has evidence for his existence. Would you like to see some?

Oh. I thought Doc had only made a few posts. I must be missing a few pages on my web browser. Hmm.
