Here's an interesting point for you all to consider. The Christian apologists claim that the New Testament books are valid historical documents about the life of Christ. The skeptics refute this position, since the documents were written by Christian partisans; indeed, this refutation extends to the secular documents that seem to support the Christian position. Question: Is this situation similar to the following? A defense attorney in a trial presents several witnesses that attest to the defendant's innocence. The prosecuting attorney objects, saying that the witnesses' testimony must be ruled inadmissible, since the witnesses are obviously biased in favor of the defendant. The judge a) sustains b) overrules the objection. Go ahead and be a judge. Greg Gadeholt Tektronix MDP ...!tektronix!tekmdp!gregg
