Lee Strobel? You attack Carrier but promote Strobel? Strobel has no relevant education or degrees in the subject matter. He is an ex-journalist that is now a Professor of Christian Thought. His arguments are easily destroyed by actual scholars on the subject. Even nonscholars like Earl Doherty show how feeble Strobel's reasoning is. But who needs arguments, facts and reasoning when you have faith.
Challenging the Verdict What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

All you have are personal attacks, how about making an argument supporting Strobel or showing he has some sort of credentials to actually make a valid argument?

Really?
It figures you would quote Richard Carrier. Richard Carrier is a hack sent by satan to discredit the Jesus of the Bible.

Where did the "intelligence" come from? Define what you mean by the term. Define "God" too.

So, since no one buys into your ideas you get pissy? Again you failed to convince anyone that you have or ever had a valid, convincing argument. Maybe time to run away again and come back later wit the same stupid arguments.

Bauckham is a Christian theologian he has no advanced degree in History. He does apologetics not History.

It can't for example tell us who we should vote for in an election.
This has nothing to do with exploring historicity. History is a science. Historians use the scientific method to determine what mist likely in the past. There is no contemporary evidence for Jesus Christ or followers. None.Your bible is not evidence. It is not evidence until you provide provenance and evidence of authorship. Without that it is equal to Lord of the Rings. What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda.
