Forgeries in the NT

[Succubus]

How the goddamn fucking fuck is an argument from silence unwarranted or unusual? The fuck is wrong with you? Seriously!

Indeed an argument from silence can be totally valid as Peter Kirby points out

Apologists and Anti Mythicists love dragging this tired chestnut out . However most of the time in error and it has not been used incorrectly .

I like the analogy>

Doherty uses an analogy to demonstrate when an argument from silence is clearly valid. If the family of a deceased man claimed he won the lottery, yet there was no record of that win, no large entry in his bank statements, no mention of it in his diary or any of his correspondence, no memory of a spending spree, and if on his deathbed he told his family that he never had a break in his life, then the argument from silence is compelling. We can be confident that the claim of his lottery win is mistaken.
