In Randy's mind (he said it on CAF) he's been shooting fish in a barrel here for weeks.
As you know, kaninchen, that comment was made in the context of a particular thread, wasn't it? The Five Minimal Facts thread to be precise, and I wrote:
Quote:Have you noticed, kaninchen, that for all the bluster, no one has actually attempted to refute the material that I have presented?
And how could they? Habermas and Licona are simply pointing out what is known from NON-biblical sources (Tacitus, Josephus, etc.) and from pure logic (women would not be the most respected witnesses of the resurrection, etc.).
Eventually, we come to the theories explaining the facts, and that's where I really expect to have some fun! (Somewhere, some fish in a barrel should be getting awfully nervous.)

And yeah, it was (and still is) like shooting fish in a barrel. No one, you included, has refuted the points in that argument.
You'd think that at some point, someone would actually take a run at it...if for no other reason than to silence me. But no one has, and it's plain enough why...
I've even started The Conspiracy Theory thread to try to encourage some discussion of alternatives to the Christian Resurrection Theory. They have nothing to say. Just a lot of personal attacks and silly memes.
To be fair, atheists have their own arguments which can present a challenge, but the Five Minimal Facts appears to have them flummoxed.
