:::As for 'emphirical evidence' on what other books 'could have wrote', perhaps you should take a look at Shakespeare, or Nostradamus, or the Egyptian Book of the Dead, or anything of the kind. Such questions always arise where people attach inordinate importance to the exact words of ancient texts (perhaps you should read more of them?), and not merely in the case of the Bible - though, obviously, the more this is rammed down people's throats, the more likely they are to want to look at it critically. Can you blame them? --[[User:Petrus|Petrus]] 12:13, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

::::I made no attempt to "ram" the Bible down your throat, and I doubt anyone else has. But I am not going to sit here and let the Bible be disrespected because you have a personal dislike for it. Do not push that disrespect here. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 20:07, 10 April 2007 (EDT)
:Karajou, why do you assume I'm ignorant of Christian apologetics? I was raised in an evangelical church -- when I began to question many things that only received dogmatic answers I began to realise just how vapid that which they were trying to ram down my throat was. Since that time I have read score of books on ''all'' religions, and the more religions I've studied, the more I've seen the truth behind them -- the emperor is naked.

:Now, when are you going to fix ''la'' to ''ta''? Hey, if you want Con-pedia to be the laughing-stock of religion, feel free to leave it, but be aware that ''la'' is not a definite article either in Greek or Latin (a language bereft of a definite aticle). BTW, I would doubt Unger misheard the word -- ''if'' he knew Greek, he would have known the definite article off of the top of his head, and if he knew it not he was no ''true'' scholar of the NT.

:One other point: books on the Civil War, Babe Ruth, etc., have never been claimed to be infallible, so your analogy does not pass muster. [[User:NousEpirrhytos|NousEpirrhytos]] 17:54, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

::Several things. First, you are saying that ''Evidence That Demands a Verdict'' is "biased" towards the Bible, Christian apologetics, etc. I've heard that excuse before, from an evolutionist who, when confronted with a book detailing evidence for a young creation, summarily dismissed it as "creationist", and refused to even look at it. That shows bias right there. What sort of bias did you bring to "Con-pedia" (as you call it)? Was it the sort of bias that is against the Bible? Do you intend to put anything at all possible here which disparages the Bible? And if you're truly educated than I need not remind you of the definition of "hearsay", as you know it yourself. I remind you, this article is about the Bible, and I don't have to explain things to people who come here with the intent of disparaging it. Do not do it here.
