Re: What's Important enough?
Wash, rinse, repeat

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 of the arguments of CS Lewis are bad. I am amazed that anyone would think he was some sort if brilliant philosopher. His arguments are no better than those of a freshman philosophy student.

Why do you keep posting links to videos? Most if us do not watch videos. If you cannot make the argument don't post the video.

10 years from now same thing
For ten years GDR has been rinse, wash, repeat. He is using the same non-arguments he did on day one. He will disappear for a while then come back and say the same thing with different word order and claim he has new, super-sized argument. Rinse, wash, repeat.
Except next time there will be even fewer people he will respond to.

Re: Curiousity Killed The Cat That Ate The Canary In A Quote Mine
I have been to Gezer. None if the subsequent excavations support much of what Mcalister claimed.

Re: Curiousity Killed The Cat That Ate The Canary In A Quote Mine
How is this relevant and how does this prove the Bible is factual? The Empire State building and NYC are factual. So there really was a King Kong?
