Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence
#13
RE: Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence
If we are trying to reach an objective truth about our existence, we can't have people passing off extraordinary subjective truths as objective. Just because it was written by multiple people, and the historical timeline and dating is foggy, does not give you permission to adjust the claims to fit your own personal truth, nor should your version of it hold any weight on what is objectively true. If you want to make an extraordinary claim that your version out of every other bagillion other interpretations is true, it's going to require some extraordinary evidence. Extraordinary meaning what would be extraordinary for modern day science.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
