"You need to prove I'm wrong. Nothing you said has proved a thing."
In all honesty - I don't. It doesn't really affect me it Luke was referring to the dog's lineage, but, in all the years I have been speaking to Christians not one has ever even brought this up as a possibility. Its just another clever invention to get around a problem and I am thinking its probably your own.
At some time we need to talk about what proof means. It might be worth considering the advice given to jurors - beyond a reasonable doubt. There is nothing in the text to support your assertion. Any wild explanation will therefore do. This is akin to:
I am walking through a wooded area in England. I hear hoof beats behind me. I presume that its a horse rather than a zebra. There is a finite possibility that I am wrong There is also a finite possibility its actually a guy with coconuts and finally there is a minute possibility that its a chicken that does impressions.
It is reasonable for me to dismiss the chicken option, without definitive proof.
Mary's lineage is that chicken.
