To show I am thinking nice thoughts I took the time to find a link that approaches my "wild" claims in a somewhat milder manner☺.
I sincerely hope given your interest in history you find some value☺.

If you are indeed an agnostic you will read it with vigour yet if a theist in agnostic camo clothing you wont...and you wont say that you have not☺.
Having said that and in an effort to be honest and not hide from you what I am thinking I feel I must share my thoughts☺.
I get the impression your game is much like the intelligent design mob trying to sneak god into science class presenting all inoccent and that they are without any preconceived idea that god could be the designer and merely following the evidence to a conclusion they do not yet know....yet they do know because they have set up a game as one could do in chess leading your opponent to a checkmate☺.
Your neutrality became suspect when I observed that when Micheal did not fall for your ploy and you told him that he was full of crap, and shortley after you told me that I was full of crap because I did not fall for your openning gambit...and then your poo poo rant...those responces suggest you have already made your decision about god and are intent on sneeeking in the notion as some sort of discovery that you as a nuetral agnostic were forced to conclude☺.
But your casual step one, to introduce legitimate statistical method is very much similar to intelligent designers pretending to do science, and when you failed so you spat the dummy big time☺.
Hardley nuetral and suggestive of anger that your simple plan was not working☺.
Why else would you lash out, why else would you defend a undefendable position re the wrong application of statistics?☺
Well after I and others read your link and used material in the very same link to point out that your idea was inappropriate you hung on
....why...well I think everyone knows why including you☺.
In retrospect we should have gone along for the ride so we could witness what other casual nuetral observations would force you to eventually come down on the god side☺.
Your plan was to demonstrate how a reasonable man would reach a reasonable conclusion by looking objectively at all the evidence☺.
I do wish we had let you go so as to see your next piece of objective evidence ...what is it by the way...let me guess..where does morality come from?...am U right or am I right☺.
I can guess why you dont like me and I bet its because I am too stupid not to see your logic and fall for your clever little plan☺.
Heck if you cant fool the biggest mug (me) on his site I can see why you got upset☺.
Now I dont generally go after people but in your case honestly I feel so inclinded because I suspect, with some justification, that you are being less than truthful as to your position☺.
You claim nuetrality but your various outbursts and insults suggest an emotional attachment not consistent with your stated positition☺.
You claim a historical interest yet limit the period of interest to a period and of matters one could expect to be covered in bible classes...tell me...did you learn your history in bible class or from a creationist web site☺..
You make no comment when I mention christianity and astrology which one could think would be of great interest if one is interested in why JC was invented...do you think JC was a real person but still not sure he was raised from the dead?☺
And you dont respond to my calls to present a fact or observation or statistical method for the non god side...clearly you are not nuetral☺.
Do you have anything for the no god side or couldnt you find anything for that side of the arguement☺.
How agnostic are you on the following matters?☺
Adam and Eve were mythical or not☺.
The great flood was a correct historical account or not☺.
Hell is real or not☺.
JC died but rose 3 days later or not☺.
Christianity is directly based on astrology☺.
Evolution is real or not☺.
Intelligent design is science or not☺
If I am wrong about you I am sorry but if I am right I suggest you ask yourself if you really want to involve yourself with a belief that causes you to be dishonest and tricky to prove to others that there is a god and how you can think that playing the game you appear to be playing is decent or indeed consistent with any of the teachings of any of the mythical human gods☺.
Look in the mirror and ask yourself those questions...and look at the eyes so you can tell if you are lieing☺.
Now most of all stay calm if you think that I am wrong say so calmly and just dont upset yourself☺.
If you are infected with the god illness know that some folk recover but sadly most are so damaged they lose the ability to apply simple reason to expose to themselves the fact they are dealing with a terrible horrible con of which they are victim...and so read the history of astrology and its relation to the invention of all the human gods of which there are many☺.
