Re: Intrinsic stupidity of the common objection to Carrier's Outer Space theory

Doesn't God reside in outer space?

Addendum: Meaning, didn't all of this begin in outer space before coming to earth?

Does Bart still compare mythicists with Holocaust deniers ?
Last I heard he thought mythicists were 'fools.'

Re: Stanford Scientist After Decades of Study Concludes We Don't Have Free Will

"The first dogma which I came to disbelieve was that of free will. It seemed to me that all nations of matter were determined by the laws of dynamics and could not therefore be influenced by human wills."

Re: Does Kipp Davis deny the historicity of the Teacher of Righteousness?

SG seems to be correct as concerns William H Brownlee saying that the 'teacher of righteousness' was or may be Judah the essene. And the 'mechanical regurgitator' is all over the place with its claims. I'll continue to use it but be even more wary than I already was. William H Brownlee says from the...

Re: Does Kipp Davis deny the historicity of the Teacher of Righteousness?

AI, references please. According to the web search results, it seems that Kipp Davis said that Brownlee did not support Carmignac’s idea that the Teacher of Righteousness was, or might have been, Judah the Essene. He quoted Brownlee’s article from 1982, where he disagreed with Carmignac’s hypothesis...

Re: Does Kipp Davis deny the historicity of the Teacher of Righteousness?

William H. Brownlee did not write that the Teacher of Righteousness was Judas Maccabeus. William H. Brownlee did write that the Teacher of Righteousness was, or might have been, Judah the Essene. I could provide bibliography, but perhaps you don't care to read such? AI, what do you say about SG's c...

Re: Does Kipp Davis deny the historicity of the Teacher of Righteousness?

This AI is not "someone else." It lacks discrimination based on real research, as already proved, for example, by its egregious misrepresentation of the published views of the late scholar William H. Brownlee. Well, another round of the mechanical regurgitator vs SG. AI says Brownlee says...

Re: Does Kipp Davis deny the historicity of the Teacher of Righteousness?

I quoted a reference to Damascus Document ms 4Q266, not to any putative later additions. What a mechanical regurgitator presents as what someone wrote was "believed" is not real scholarship, imo. "Referring" to William Brownlee as if he agreed with a Christian dating is absurd--...
