A link to this paper was posted by Donald Morgan in the Feedback section, in response to a complaint about the quality of Anthony Flew's debating techniques.

The article consists of comments by G.A.Wells on a debate between Habermas and Anthony Flew. You can see where Nomad and friends get their arguments, and see some well researched and footnoted refutations:

A Resurrection Debate: The New Testament Evidence in Evangelical and in Critical Perspective
Revised Edition, 2000

I have to admit Toto, you can post these links faster than we could ever hope to respond to them.

Well Layman, pray to 'God' to "...hope to respond to them.", if he existed he would help you for sure...

Why would he do that?

To insure humans have faith.

And how would responding to the arguments ensure that humans have faith?

By providing proofs of the Bible's'God'.

Doh... No more need for faith...

Ish

Hey guys - thanks for keeping this near the top where more people can see it.

I thought that Wells pretty much demolished the idea that the Gospels can be treated as eyewitness history, or as based on eyewitness reports. As if that idea needed to be demolished.

Ya know.

When I first came to this website, I saw a theist reprimanded for providing some links to an article supposedly supporting his point. He was quickly denounced and informed that at this site posters are expected to argue their cases, and only provide links as references.

I thought it a reasonable rule. I still do.
