    Update (this thread is 6 months old, but there is a new development worth mentioning)

    The study I linked to in the opening post has been repeated on a larger scale. Whereas the earlier study (of late 2011) only took a sample from the people of New Jersey, the latest study collected data from all the USA. The conclusion has not changed:


    and


    And it is interesting to note how well those that watch The Daily Show did.

    Matthew's, Mark's and John's gospels are wide-considered as first-person testimony


    Not by any reputable scholar.

    The question was on whether it was hearsay or not.

    I did include this line in the message you replied to

    and this in my previous


    I think it is quite clear that I think the whole thing is false and a work of fiction. However, to dismiss the NT descriptions of Jesus as Hearsay is dangerous - because it is clearly not hearsay; and once people realise that the criticism is incorrect it adds a undeserved veneer of truth to the work.


    It IS hearsay and Luke even says as much. The Gospels don't pretend to be eyewitnesses (as I've just implied, Luke even explicitly says it's not); other people put the names on the texts and now people pretend they are witnesses. Bob's hearsay is still hearsay if Frank comes in a few hundred years later and calls him a witness.

    it is first party eyewitness testimony of an event


    That is actually entirely wrong.

  5. In Topic: Can nothing not exist?

    They are in the opinion of most philosophers, and I would say in the light of common sense. Nor can something that was once finite become infinite.


    Only the bad philosophers would say they are mutually exclusive. And there are all kinds of bound infinities, such as the set of all numbers between 2 and 3.

    There was not, will not, nor will ever be a time when the universe does not exist. It is eternal. There was never a time before time t at which the universe existed. It had a beginning. Look at that, they go together just fine.
