Forgeries in the NT

[RoadRunner79]

Ok.... so your peculiar reference to contradictions in these would seem to make less since as an atheist.  Under any normal circumstance, as I argued before, I don't think there is any contradiction (unless you add an argument from silence which is unwarranted and unusual).

Do you think you place odd expectations here... some kind of reverse atheist fundamentalism?

How... is an argument from silence unwarranted or unusual?

As I explained, depending on the focus, intent, or whatever other factors, a speakers choice to expand or contract information is not all that unusual.  Just because someone  only mentions or focuses on one person, while another person includes others in their account, does not make it a contradiction.  Only mentioning one person does not exclude others, unless it is explicitly specified.  So that there definitely not a contradiction, and I don't see the a problem. 

Now an argument from silence, I would imagine would be something like, this person wasn't mentioned, therefore the speaker didn't know about any others.  This is possible, especially if the one telling you wasn't there (but really doesn't matter in the information being conveyed).    However, the assumption that because it wasn't mentioned it was unknown is unwarranted in this case I believe and ignores usual aspects of communications.
