I can write "Many people saw the risen cheeseburger"
Write a book about it, and there is always certain to be someone who believes it. If one person believes, getting someone else to believe is a matter of relationship than actual logic. Soon enough, many people believe in something that is not real.
That is how religions are created and then spread through the population.
All religions are the same, they rely upon the faith of the believers for there is no actual evidence to support the religion.
Why are you quoting me quoting Randy and making it look like you're responding to something I said instead of something Randy said?

Well since I reported the post I'll tell you. I didn't check at the time. The "knowledge" was far too detailed for Randy and it wasn't written in his style, it looked as if it had been copy-pasted from an anonymous apologetic source. Why else would he go out of his way to construct straw man argument from my post and then rattle on about "cousins" which had nothing whatsoever to do with what I was saying?
The page the mods linked to is undated. However I did do my own search after the fact and found this post which is 8 years old, and quotes the website linked to in the Mod notice - therefore it is at least 8 years old. As I understand it Evert is a Catholic apologetic and not a qualified bible scholar. So quoting him to tell you what the Bible says is like quoting the defence council to tell you what the judge handed down in their verdict - it's far far from being free of bias.
FWIW I was pretty nice to Randy and happy to discuss the topic with him, I just wasn't happy to see him copy-pasting arguments from god-knows where.

"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
