Every single shred of evidence of the resurrection of Christ comes from a single book, with references only to itself. 10,000 people attesting that the Ring was unmade in Mount Doom do not make the existence of Hobbits historical fact. The fact the movie (or gospel of John) repeats the story of the original book (gospel of Mark) my be better explained by the fact it was based on the original, but tarted up for a different audience/media. Regardless, the plural of “anecdote” is not “evidence”.P@Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224139690760183921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20385137.post-42903401536958726252010-08-04T02:40:12.119-04:002010-08-04T02:40:12.119-04:00Given that Arnold lived before the development of ...Given that Arnold lived before the development of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_criticism" rel="nofollow">Biblical Criticism</a> and modern <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syro-Palestinian_archaeology" rel="nofollow">Syro-Palestinian archaeology</a> (overturning <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Biblical_archeology" rel="nofollow">'Biblical archeology'</a>), his "better and fitter evidence" really has little, if any, probative value.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
