(September 28, 2013 at 4:56 am)Aractus Wrote: Up until about 20 years ago it was general consensus among historians that the Egyptian Pyramids were built by slaves. This was based on one single source, written by a contemporary Greek historian in the 5th century BC. Herodotus visited Egypt c. 450BC, and was told that the pyramids were built by slaves.
That is a fine point. The decisions of historians along with their best guesses never quite rise above the level of speculation. Some speculation is better founded than others, but it is all speculation nonetheless. I accept this.
But then what sort of scholarship does it require to determine which holy book is the actual word of the one and only living god?
