You call that a stomping?

Dr. Craig was forceful but not convincing. And this is coming from a believer.

It's nice to see an internet debate that doesn't resort to name-calling.

I can speed read when necessary and then study what I skimmed.

It's the attempt to scientificate the "evidence" of the "Gospels" as historical evidence, and then the effort to turn it into a math equation of probability.

One couldn't fabricate Joseph of Arimethea? Come on. He makes a load of assumptions perhaps invoking some tools of historians but what's so compelling about his argument?

I get it, that he believes Christ resurrected but he didn't prove it or whup on Ehrman.

I was going to say that debates like this are such a complete fool's errand it's more worthwile to watch Three's Company.

Debating historicity of the resurrection. Give me a break.

Debating basketball strategies is a fool's errand, but listening to the arguments is interesting.

From a purely historical point of view, Ehrman's arguments make more sense even if one ultimately comes down on the side that the resurrection resulted.

I bet Ehrman doesn't know jack about probability theory.

It probably isn't an area of his expertise.
