Stupidest thing I have read all week, and it's been one of those weeks...And since reconstructions can't be perfect, they are all equally reliable, so we should trust your scriptures just as much as we trust anything else about the past. Of course, that means we should also trust everyone else's scriptures equally with yours, except not, because reasons...If only there was a method that would allow us to determine which reconstructions of the past have a higher probability of being better approximations of what really happened than others....
What you are saying is that when there are rival theories none of them are true. Or in other words, since we cannot be certain about everything we don't know anything. Talk about fallacies. I seriously question your logical judgment.
