Which is why I offered my services in the first place. This way we can make eye witness of all of the youtube viewers. Without an established provanunce the gospel of wilbur will fail. as have many many many other claims that support the deity of other 'gods.'
Wilbur still has a couple of decades in which to write that letter and it will be within the lifetime of others to corroborate or contest. Maybe Josh and Zed will write similar letters (fudging a few details along the way) and no one will contest their claims. Would that work? Is there an over/under on the number of uncontested claims from people who saw or heard about how Ryantology died and was reborn?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
