You reject modern scholarly consensus only to appeal to it?
I didn't know that I was here. I have pointed out scholarly consensus before, but it is mostly about their reasons for doing so. I'm not against scholarly opinion at all, they spend a lot more time on things giving them the knowledge, and ability to organize information better then I can. However, if they don't give any reason for their claims, I'm a little skeptical. I don't think that they have a magical ability to peer into the past, sometimes they are wrong, and sometimes bias can cloud their judgement. So I ask why?
