first, i am honored to have "drifted" into a role as a "key participant" as filburt1 said.

second, what does "and your so called facts" are no more provable than anyone else's mean?

this isn't garbled junk. it's fact (i'm not saying the contents, but the historical facts of dates written)

thoughrout non-biblical history there is writings and documentations by and about the authors of the books. flavious wrote of paul and peter for example, outside the biblical realm, in his own writings. the bible wasn't a journel entry from 12 drunks...it is an inspired compilation of 40 authors and HISTORICALLY spans 1600 years. You can debate any of it's contents to your will, but dont' debate the way the contents came about...unless you want to say they spanned 1599 years or 1601...i can live with that.
