Exactly how the authors of the Gospels referred to others' testimonies of Jesus' birth.
LOL. So he refers to 400 year old documents we have never seen from people he never met. You got me!! Exactly the same as the NT.
Documents not seen by people not met by the author? OMG, you're this close to rejecting the Gospels ...
Keep thinking, Steve. You'll get there.

In other words, each year does not count as a 'reason' and you would never accept that line of thought as a valid reason to discredit a writing you accept. You were going for a funny.
Yes! It is part of the joy of talking to Grand. He get's kudos just for telling me I'm wrong and I get to amuse myself with comments I am sure are going over his head. A win-win.
What win? If anything, you come off as someone who's pretty insecure that this not-so-bright Grandizer is getting lots of kudos compared to you. If you want lots of kudos, and RR isn't good enough to keep you satisfied, maybe you should make a lot more reasonable and valid points instead of all the special pleading and the appeals to popularity and authority and all that. People here are brighter and fairer than you make them out to be. Also, some of them have degrees that you and I could only dream of having, so perhaps you shouldn't be debating them on topics they are experts on. I've done that before, only to realize that I was getting it wrong.
