In recent discussions related to the MS known as P46 (ca. 200 CE), Nomad alluded to an analysis done by Daniel Wallace of Young Kyu Kim's article in Biblica Magazine. As of today, it seems no one knows who Kim is, what his credentials are, or where he can be found.

I would like to put out an APB:

Young Kyu Kim's whereabouts are unknown. Apparently, he disappeared shortly after writing the Biblica article in 1988. If you have ANY information which might help locate this obscure person, please post it here.

Biblica Magazine was found. Somebody please find Kim.

Dr.-Ing. Young-Kyu Kim

I already contacted him. No reply.

Thanks, Michael, for your checking this out. I just wanted to emphasize to everyone the fact that Kim's credentials (and apparently his whereabouts) are still unknown.

So, does this mean a professor from the "Division of Mechanical and Automation Engineering" is making comments about MS dating and biblical dating? This totally fails Nomad's views about non-experts making claims on things that are outside their fields.

Here are some quotes:

And that's all from just two posts!

I guess we now can guess at Nomad's actual opinion of Young Kyu Kim's work... if Dexter has indeed found the right person.

Here are some quotes:

Nomad: BTW, I am still wondering what part of his training in studying the Irish makes him qualified to be a good solid scholar in NT studies?

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nomad: The question of the relative expertise of a given author is central to the question of how seriously we should take this author's work. For example, he or she may be a very nice person, and even highly eductated in a specific field. But when they are stepping out of that field, they then become "amateurs" in the classic sense of the word.

Nomad: Einstein had real training and expertise in physics, and could therefore study related questions. If he were to comment on medicine however, he would be an amateur. Similarily in the field of Biblical studies.

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nomad: Of course not. But amateurs do have a tendency to make fallacious arguments that, had they studied the question more thoroughly, could have been more easily avoided.

I think your point is valid. Nomad is no stranger to inconsistency and self-contradiction.

Dear Sir,

I'm sorry, I'm not the person you're looking for.
Sincerely,
Y.K. Kim
