RE: Richard Carrier - The Hero Savior Analogy

Quote: If that's all he is arguing for here then I concur that it's not a bad analogy.

Space limitations precluded putting the whole chapter up to that point in the post. 

He began by taking the claim "I have a car," and what evidence would be needed to substantiate that rather ordinary claim.

He then proceeded through various stages up to "I have an interstellar space ship" and contrasted what the evidence for that would be in comparison. 

The whole essay is here:
