I am a Croatian 18-year-old from Donji Miholjac (not very far from Vukovar), and I can't help but wonder how it's possible that it left so little evidence (at least as far as I am aware), when more than three thousand people were supposedly killed there.
I have studied quite a bit of Croatian history. I had to do that not only for school, but also for my interpretation of the Croatian toponyms:
Croatian Toponyms
If there is evidence to justify such an extraordinary claim of Vukovar being burned to the ground and rebuilt again completely in, well, a decade, how it is that I don't know anything about that evidence?
As an atheist, how will I justify my disbelief in the Jesus's resurrection if I believe that the Battle of Vukovar happened? One of the reasons other atheists usually give for their disbelief in Jesus's resurrection is that our understanding of history has to be in line with our understanding of how the universe works. However, the Battle of Vukovar is also not in line with my understanding of how the universe works, because I have won the school physics competition two years in a row and I still have no bright idea how the bombs might work.
Ah, battles like vukovar left abundant evidence, therefore the feasibility of there having been a battle at vukovar is not in doubt. Consequently the bar for a convincing argument for vukovar actually having happened is much lower?
You may not know how a bomb works. But it is not difficult to arrange a convincing demonstration of bomb working. If in doubt, I can tell you how to arrange such a demonstration. Invite skeptical abombists to challenge my demo if you like.
