You were both name calling from your first post, calling anyone who considered Min' side of the argument an idiot etc etc.
Try again, it is YOU that started the fight in this particular thread. Go back to the OP and show me otherwise. You were responded to in equal manner. You were not attacked first.
This is not the first thread that Min has started on this topic. He's TROLLING and I've called him out on it several times. To say that the conversation starts here in this thread is wrong, it's a continuation of all the other bullshit threads he's posted on this same topic. He can't back it up with peer-review material or anything of an academic standard.
Min is an idiot because he has been pointed to academic literature and refuses to look at it just like say what a holocaust denier does when pointed to peer-reviewed WWII literature, and just like what 911 truthers do when pointed to evidence. He stomps his feet and claims that the "Bible isn't evidence" which is a statement refuted by any decent modern scholar no matter what their personal convictions are. He never answers the questions put to him, and he goes and starts new threads on the same topic and posts unscrutinised works which are written by authors who are discredited in their fields by their peers... hmm... JUST LIKE WHAT A HOLOCAUST DENIER DOES!!
There are way more bona fide historians who doubt the holocaust than there are that doubt the existence of Jesus.
It's funny how these people always claim to be the real "objective" ones in their fields whilst the majority of their academic peers label them as quacks.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
