Quote:While the historical reliability of the New Testament is not dependent upon knowing with certainty who the authors of the gospels were, it is indisputable that if the gospels can be shown to be written by eyewitnesses or by men who had access to eyewitnesses, the argument for the reliability of the New Testament as a whole is greatly advanced.Do you really think so?
Lets test your resolve on this one.
-it is indisputable that if the reports of alien abduction can be shown to be written by eyewitnesses or by men who had access to eyewitnesses, the argument for the reliability of the reports of alien abduction as a whole is greatly advanced.
Yeah? How about we try chupacabra, plug chupacabra in there. At what point is the argument greatly advanced, and how, for -any of these three things-?
You know what might -actually- advance the argument for the reliablility of the new testament? Establishing that there was anything to witness in the first place. Then, then, you could bullshit us endlessly about the accuracy of their testimony. Can't establish a "jesus", can't even establish a "paul".....and yet.....we're babbling on about eyewitness testimony as though it would matter even if it were.......lol.
