It sure does. But why is he so desperate to convince us? That's what I don't get with people trying to win atheists round with this stuff. Even if we agreed it was true, it makes no difference. One less glaring error in the bible. So what? I don't care if the bible predicted nuclear fission, and knew how many fingers I'm about to hold up, I'm not going to believe other unsupported claims it makes.

Insecurity, I guess.

Maybe he just wants to test out the strength of his argument?

Validation for one's beliefs especially when they can't get that any other way.

You'd almost think he was lying about it, along with other claims in this thread.

Wait, did he actually do that? I can't bring myself to read the whole thread, it's that painful.

I have indisuputable video evidence that Exodus happened.



These guys agree, and even wrote a song about it.

Emphasis mine.

I challenge you to justify this bold assertion.

If you had said "infrequently" I would agree, but that would be quite another thing, wouldn't it?

More proof of Exodus.

Bob Marley and his chums even wrote an album about it:

Hey, asshole.  YOU are the one who said you can disprove Carrier's position.  Now put up or shut up.

Let me get this straight....

You said the Bible is "shit".

I said "prove it" by showing that ANY archaeological evidence has proved that the Bible has been wrong.

Now, if you want to get into the problems with Richard Carrier's stupidity, we can (I did a quick search of this forum, and it's been covered extensively in the past, btw).

But the issue at hand presently is whether you have hard, empirical evidence that the Bible is shit. Otherwise, this is nothing more than your own personal opinion.

Oh, I get it.  The absence of evidence...an argument from silence, really...proves the Bible wrong?

Is that actually the best you can come up with?

Are you hanging your argument on the fact that a wooden boat has NOT survived the ravages of 3,000 of scavenging and weather-related rot? 

Hoo-boy.
