Undeceived Wrote:Can you prove Julius Caesar was assassinated?I've personally witnessed an assassination, so to believe that another one took place is no big stretch. If he wasn't it's of no consequence to me. You're trying to compare apples and oranges, which is very disingenuous; I'm sure you've heard of the old "extraordinary claims" maxim.
Quote:Can you prove Aristotle was born in Stagira?Again, is that an extraordinary claim? Does it matter to my eternal state of existence?
Quote:Can you prove Plato wrote the works he is alleged to have?Yet again, it matters not, his works are not claiming to have walked on water followed by the prequel to popular comic and TV series, The Walking Dead.
Quote:This is history. You can't expect to use the scientific method on historical people and events. We have written testimonies instead.How very convenient that it's still ancient history, and in the age where we could actually test such claims of divinity, there's not a sign of a miracle anywhere.
Quote:Do you, Gambit, believe Julius Caesar was assassinated?I believe it, but I'm not building a religion on it and trying to force whole nations to believe as I do. Next.
