Default Tektonics.org

Hi all

I am just wondering if anyone knows of a good website that debunks what is written on tektonics? Mainly at this link http://www.tektonics.org/copycat/copycathub.html

Thanks in advance

P.S. Dr. Richard Carrier wrote a book debunking JP Holding's argument that Christianity would not have been successful without the resurrection of Jesus. You can download it for $2.50 here:

It's better than the online book "Was Christianity Too Improbable to be False" and well worth the two bucks.

Indeed he is. He's also a self-professed bible expert who insists that the gospels weren't originally anonymous because no one's found a copy of a gospel with no name on it.

The link has it for sale in paperback. Damn near thirty dollars though.

I'm not sure if Holding has ever self-professed to be a bible expert. Rather, he prides himself on his ability to research Christian experts and scholars for his apologetic ammo. If there is a database out there somewhere with info from someone like Dan Wallace, Holding will find and quote it. If that doesn't work, he'll attack the credentials of the person he is trying to refute.

Except the early manuscripts , such as p52, which have no name on them, because they are so fragmentary.

While these early fragments can't possibly count against anonymous authorship, because they are so fragmentary, they are excellent evidence of an unchanging text, despite their fragmentary nature.

It all makes sense, somehow....
