No

You have NOT provided highly detailed facts

What you HAVE done is repeatedly post links to and excerpts of Z-grade web pages that are littered with vague, irrelevant waffle that has been thoroughly debunked

Where is the vague, irrelevant waffle that has been thoroughly debunked in this website that lists the 84 detailed facts of Luke and the 59 detailed facts of John.

This above website was written by one of the authors of the book cited in post #1 of this thread.

Another post where a someone talks of errors as if they are proven and have no explanations. I've already given explanations for your theory of errors with Paul's conversion, and Paul's actions after his conversions. Regarding geneology, one geneology could have been for Joseph and one for Mary. I have never seen one supposed error in the New Testament that does not have a logical explanation for it.

That's fantastic, DOC.
Could you just tell us how many angels were seen at 'the Empty Tomb" that Easter Sunday morning?

I went around the website and was interested to see just how similar the preaching sounds to that of the blogs I've been quoting and even DOC's posts.

Do we really have to explain again that getting the order of towns right in a particular journey doesn't give credence to a tale of being attacked by a dragon on that very road?

Come now, Doc. I've already shown that there were thousands of verses that Luke and John wrote, opposed to the 140-odd "facts" you claim are verified. Truly, if it were by the numbers, you would have to admit that there are far more verses than facts in their writings. Even if we were to allow that a single fact requires 2-3 verses to completely notate, we're still talking <50% accuracy (given there were a total of over 3000 verses between the two of them).

So you want historical and archaeological evidence for almost every verse of something that happened 2000 years ago. That doesn't make sense. Do you want evidence that the rooster that Peter heard crow existed. Do you want evidence that the boat the apostles got on existed. I don't understand your argument. We don't even have contemporary writings for Alexander the Great who history says conquered much of the known world and yet you want historical and archaeological evidence for every 2 or 3 verses in the NT.

I followed this series of blogs with the comments posted up and finally, at part 8, the author gives his/her crowning argument:
from part 8


Odd that a blog out since February 2009 should mirror DOC's arguments here so well, isn't it.

So what is it you are saying?

No , just evidence for the resurrection, any resurrection, would be a start.

As applicable now as it was then.
Now, however, DOC is invited to explain how it is his posts reflect the blogs of another person but give no credit to that author.

Did it ever occur to you that this author whoever it may be is getting his information from my thread as it has been up for over a year and has over 150,000 hits. Or that we both got our info from the book cited in post #1 or from other books or websites.

No. So any evidence yet?

There was probably 2. But one person could have noticed only one angel and not noticed the other one maybe standing 30 feet to her side or behind her. Whereas the other witness did notice both angels. It happens all the time where witnesses see different details.

150 000 hits!

That reminds me of the man who fell into a lens grinding machine.






He made a spectacle of himself.


U2. Got any of the evidence promised in the OP yet?

Already been given several times, and you know that. Your repeated where's the evidence posts are trollish but I doubt they will stop. I guess I'll just have to link to my response here every time you play this game.

What evidence? You have claimed evidence but have presented none. Your repeated claim is trollish but I doubt it will stop.

Would you like to actually present evidence when I ask?

Or it did not happen at all.

Any comment on the number of people that all this 'evidence' has failed to convince?

I guess I'll just have to link to my spreadsheet every time you play this game.


Link (which you forgot, silly sausage)
