Let me guess here. This special field of science which is not only
beyond falsification, but is entirely validated ... are you here Chris
referring to the "science" of handwriting analysis, aka paleography?

I am waiting to be educated to your level.

It might be regarded as a science with respect to the field of BC&H
but then again, the field of BC&H seems to be a few centuries behind
the times IMO.

Definitely, the NT is a fictitious book, without doubt.

Just for the record, will anyone here become the THIRD VOTE for FICTION
alongside aa5847 and myself? Jobar, that will be 3% of your population.
We wish to legalise the act of voting for a FICTION JESUS.

Best wishes until next poll.

Jobar, I have noticed that in '04 you had a category for mostly/ entirely historic now you have downgraded to some degree.

But if you are some degree historic doesn't that mean you accept some degree of myth also. I think you should have maintained your mostly/entirely category for HJ.
