That's just a little hypocritical, isn't it?
Wells didn't think he was a "great guy." He just realized, with the agnostics Durant and Shonfield, that inventors would not have written what they did, with such detail, or written apparently negative things about Jesus, or written such brilliant similies. They saw all your "contradictions" and realized those were, in the scheme of things, "minutae" only nitpickers would call proof of lying.
They did not commit the logical fallacy called "false in one part, false in all," which is rampant on this forum. If half of Mark is true and all the rest of the NT is false, you guys are still wrong. God can simply hold you to your own irrational logic on judgement day. Right?
Most atheists would refuse to serve Jesus if he came down and healed 98% of all the sick people in the world. "Hey what about the other 2%? If you heal them, I'll think about it"
Proof has nothing to do with atheist beliefs, Wells being a possible exception. They can't prove anything themselves, although the burden is on them, not us. In a slander or libel case, the burden is on the accuser, not the defendent, for good reason.
