Satan Disproves Christianity

[Godscreated]

"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.

That linage has been accepted and taught for a long time, just because you have not heard about it means little to nothing, you should do your research.

You reciting it as if it's proof of something means little to nothing. Oh, okay, it means nothing. It's part of a storybook, and that's been the constant from the day it was written.

I'm partial to the Joseph/Mary explanation myself. But FWIW (and maybe it's already been noted), Africanus said that "Joseph" was accurate in both genealogies, and explained the difference by levirate marriage.
