Richard Carrier to speak in So Cal Mar 8-9, debate Craig in MO Mar 18, 2009
Craig Carrier debate
Quote:
One of the comments refers to a scholar who tried to prove the Resurrection using the Epistles. But the historical reliability of the Epistles is an even more knotty question that then gospels, as we know. |

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me Craig wants to avoid the issue of whether or not the Bible contains at least one error. By focusing on the historical reliability of the Gospels, he would have no choice but to make his own position clear. If the discussion is limited to the resurrection, all Craig needs to do is to present his four facts and claim the resurrection is the best explanation; no need to address the biblical innerancy issue.
I agree with Carrier that the ressurection is not narrower in scope! If the Gospels are not reliable, then what "facts" does Craig have? You have to establish first if the Gospels are reliable if you want to use some facts to reach a conclusion. I hope Carrier will be well-prepared for this. It is long overdue that a skeptic demolishes Craig's sophistry. |

When are Craig and Carrier going to debate "Are Moral Facts Evidence of God?"
Edit: Nevermind, I read the post and it looks like it isn't planned anytime soon, if at all. |

Carrier was brilliant in Ventura, as usual. Someone made a video, but we'll have to see how it turns out.

'Dr. Craig argued that multiple and independent sources attest to the fact that Jesus was buried and rose from a tomb and later appeared to a select group of people.'
SO if 4 Scientologists say the same thing, that makes it true? |

Does anyone know where the video/audio/transcript of the Mar. 8th speech or the Craig-Carrier debate is?
