Why can't Christians Verify Exactly Where Jesus Was Buried?

It's not a straw-man because I'm not imputing it to you. I'm making my own point, and feeling ever more embarrassed watching you wriggle away from addressing it, to the point of asserting a fallacy that hasn't been made.

The book of Joshua makes all kinds of farcical claims, however it was right in its geography of ancient Canaanite cities, many of which were discovered in the 19th-20th centuries by archaeological digs, and many of those digs were based directly on finding the locations mentioned in the Old Testament.

A broken clock is right twice a day, yet only a fool would use it to make his appointments on time.

By the way, that isn't a false dichotomy anyways. A claim cannot be its own support for what I hope are reasons obvious even to you. (If you need help with this one, too, I'll be glad to oblige).

I think you're committing the argumentum ad fallacium fallacy -- thinking that if you throw enough baseless charges of fallacy into the discussion, you will have carried your own point.

And the fact that you add the word "deliberately" in (as you have several times now, though I've previously refrained from comment), as if you know my intent here, is laughably characteristic of you.
