delay?
Another debater in one of my topics suddenly is insinuating that delay = paucity of evidence - seems like I cannot get the same benefit I give to everyone of my opponents.
We take that from your past behaviour. The GP and LLM threads being a perfect example. You dropped the whole thing when asked a few simple questions. We can't tell when the delay will turn into never.

As usual
You, who can't read a map, are now telling us about the history of the greeks and how close the hebrews were to that culture?
Unfortunately, they didn't have much contact with the Japanese even if they did with the Greeks. You have to explain all the cases not just pick on one.

Possibilities and probabilities
No, it doesn't. The possibility does not exist.
I'm not sure, Rrhain, that that is strictly true. It seems to me that there is some non zero chance that they could have started up with the same style just by chance. Of course, this occuring in any one of the cases is astronomically small.
To have occured all over the world is astronomically small squared !
Is that the answer we are given? It could happen by chance? It could happen over and over? It is astonishing what someone can say with a straight face.
