Good morning guys, I've just read Tim 'O Neill's latest post criticizing the mythicist Richard Carrier on his History for Atheists blog. Here's the link to it: http://historyforatheists.blogspot.c...ispleased.html. I think it does a good job taking apart Carrier's arguments for the most part as well as taking apart his anti-religious views to a certain extent.

And see just about anything (but especially his "Final Word") that Luke A Barnes has put on his blog critiquing Carrier's pseudo-Bayesian technique as applied to the fine tuning of the universe:

Hendrix and Barnes take Carrier's "Bayesian" arguments apart in principle, in practice and in extensive detail. Bayes is quite technical for mere educated laypeople like you and me, which is what Carrier relies on in his • Edited by a Moderator • and bollocks; but as you will see, those competent in the field rip him apart as an incompetent.Last edited by Cerebrum123; 07-11-2016, 02:37 PM.

Dr. Carrier has a new book coming out, just begging for your review: Science Education in the Early Roman Empire.
And there happens to be an ad on the Amazon page as I'm reading it for "The Second Coming of the Judeo-Zoroastrian Jesus of the Dead Sea Scrolls" by Cyril Glasse, which ought to be a howler.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
