He didn't mention anything about Luke's gospel in the talk, he just sprung it on me in the email. I didn't say I bought into the bullshit, I was simply asking him what his position was regarding how he came to believing in the reliability of the bible. I think it's important to understand where religious people are getting their convictions from, especially if they are using science to back up claims in the bible without putting the text itself under the same kind of scrutiny.
Doesn't really matter where religious people get their convictions from. If they think they can back their shit with science, they don't understand science. No if ands or buts about it. Anyway, in my experience, religious people tend to believe for no reason other than they want to believe.
edit: Why would you expect a philosophy professor to even understand anything about the scientific veracity of miracles?
