Contemporary witnesses are not required for historical events.

I was taught hearsay, must be coupled with physical evidence to be
consider. Thusly the secondhand hearsay about a civilization called
Atlantis without some sort of physical evidence is called mythology.

It is easy for modern urban mythologies to become indirect hearsay history.
Separating urban myths from actual events which happened a few years ago
isn't easy.

I am thinking of an event which happened at work in 1985. One of the VPs
says it never happened. However it was witnessed too many people who called
him upon it. I wonder in 30 years when most of the witnesses and
participants are dead, what will history call true?

Is this your way of trying to convince people that the Bible isn't just a massive load of fiction, fantasy and, forgery? It's not working.

I've tried to tell you before that it doesn't matter if some parts of the Bible are factually correct, as long as it is full of all that other crap, nobody can take it seriously as a history book. It's hard to take as bad fiction, let alone the word of an allegedly omnipotent deity. When you have the entire book of genesis
revealed as fiction, what do you expect?

Heard can be mistaken, lack of details, misheard, mislead, not trustable, and exaggerated, especially from some one else.

I heard from duke that he heard that Mad Joe is a Christian and a great liar.

Moses, exodus

"When it comes to Moses, again, you have a really larger-than-life portrait," said William Dever, a professor of archaeology from Lycoming College. "I doubt that the miracles attributed to him ever took place. I don't think he led three million Israelites out of Egypt in an exodus across the Sinai. I don't think he was the founder of Israelite religion, but


I think there was a Moses. I argue, and I think some other archaeologists will, too, there was a small exodus group -- not millions of people, but perhaps a few thousand -- who did escape from slavery in Egypt."

How about you, Joe? Do you believe this? Why or why not?

> I don't think he led three million Israelites out of Egypt in an exodus across the Sinai.

And this? Do you agree with your source here?

>I don't think he was the founder of Israelite religion,

True!

>but I think there was a Moses. I argue, and I think some other archaeologists will, too, there was a small exodus group -- not millions of people, but perhaps a few thousand -- who did escape from slavery in Egypt."

So is this your belief as well?

Probably there were no plagues, whether natural or supernatural.
This is just a retelling of the Bible study with speculations about
ancient Egypt mixed in; no "evidence for the Exodus" is found here.

>Exodus

>http://beginningandend.com/did-the-exodus-really-happen-historical-evidence-of-the-exodus/

Nothing in the way of valid evidence for the Exodus is found here,
either.

Acc to IMDB, John Cleese's family name was originally "Cheese."

The quote above, and the "cheese shop sketch" take on new luster

and I suppose you consider yourself the epitome of mental health?

Let me recollect some of your more memorable posts:

1.WHAT FUCKING GOD????????????
2.Don Black is a hero of the right.

3.I was wrong when I said Bruno is a Jew For Jesus-
Joe Bruno is actually a Roman Catholic
4.That theist(and all the others) are "morons", "imbeciles" and "proven serial liars."(we're still waiting to see the posts that prove they lied.)
5.All archaeologists are "religious loonies."
6.We know Moses did not exist because we don't have testimony from someone who knew him personally and lived another 1000 years after Moses died to tell us what he was like.
7."The GOP has been taken over by Christian Fundamentalists."
We asked you for their names but you didn't know any.

8. I know what everybody is thinking. They all know they are wrong.

Actually, you can't read. You claimed the article said: "Most historical evidence comes from indirect witnesses, people who were not on the scene, but heard of the events from someone else. The Rule Against Hearsay does not apply to historical research."

It doesn't, it says: "Garraghan says that most information comes from "indirect witnesses," people who were not present on the scene but heard of the events from someone else.[7] Gottschalk says that a historian may sometimes use hearsay evidence."

You can't even accurately quote what someone else said, you stupid cunt.

Your dishonesty never ends does it?

You know perfectly well that William Dever does not believe this horseshit and didn't say the second paragraph at all. That's your opinion, not his evidenced based opinion.

What's the problem? You list normal reactions from a rational human being who has to deal with idiots all day claiming things that simply are not true.

Based on the evidence we can conclude the following:

There is no God. No evidence ever.

No Adam and Eve. No evidence ever.

No Moses. No evidence ever.

No Exodus. No evidence ever.

No Passover. If the Moses and the Exodus never happened....................

No worldwide flood and no Noah or Ark. No evidence ever.

No Jesus. Nobody wrote about him in his lifetime. It seems impossible that nobody would think to write about a guy who was raising the dead and preforming other miracles.

There's more, but that should be enough.
