@exposedatheists "Mike Licona easily bests Richard Carrier in this debate"

Ha, yeah right! After watching the whole debate only a biased Christian could make that claim.

Licona was simply outclassed by Carrier's superior knowledge on the topic at hand.

Besides, any grown man arguing strongly for the 'supernatural' is always gonna' look the fool anyway.

ummmm....Carrier actually owned this debate... Carrier: "Here's the facts." Licona: "Nuh-uh"...and repeat.

@skeptic1710 2/2 If an event is improbable, does that mean it needs 'extraordinary' evidence (not sure how extraordinary evidence would differ from regular evidence) or that it simply means that it would need the *right* evidence? Or something different altogether.

@skeptic1710 Do you mind if I ask a question then as I am doing some research and am interested in the question and your take on it.

1/2

"Historians deal with what probably happened in the past." Does that mean that they could never affirm an improbable event?

@skeptic1710 We'd love to have you back :)

@skeptic1710 Keener's book is worth checking out, but it is very big! I would recommend a Gary to you, Gary Habermas and his book In Defense of Miracles (he is the editor technically).

@skeptic1710 Thanks for the tip on Gary, I'll have to keep him in mind. Right now I am working on Craig Keener's 2 vol. set on Miracles (2011). I believe it is the largest book(s) on the topic. Keener is WELL known for his f.n and I just started the section on Hume. I never found Hume's arguments convincing and find it strange that so many do.

"Historians deal with what probably happened in the past." Does that mean that they could never affirm an improbable event?

@skeptic1710 Why do you think those two own Licona? Is it simply bc Licona is arguing for the supernatural?

@paularenas26 Let's put an end to spammers who deny the right to freedom of thought/choice and interpretation/belief about life - in other words just STFU plz, your anti-religious crusade is RELIGION in itself, incase you haven't already noticed that hypocritical irony by now. Yes, much of religion is destructive, but a man can drown from a teaspoon of water where water is also the essential building block of all of life. Believe what you want, but DO NOT tell me what I can/can't.

Let’s put an end to all religion.
