re: #173 Obdicut

That book was written by evangelical Christians, using outdated archaeological research, and they expressly set out to prove the historicity of a bible. It’s not a serious academic work, and the basis for it has been discredited.

There really aren’t any modern non-zealous academics who think there is anything remotely approaching proof of the historicity of Abraham.

Yes yes yes,
I didn’t provide ENOUGH.

Got it, that is what I said.

The people who I mention in my #161 disagree, but you know better.

It doesn’t matter what they did, or what their education or position was. They were evangelical Christians! That means they were idiots. No one respects them. Nothing they said or did is worthy.

Got it. We did this already.

Nevermind that this is something that can’t actually be proved (one way or the other) or that IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE.

You don’t want absolute proof, just enough to convince you and everyone else.
