I already did. I said that they were unverified.
Documents are not documents if they're not verified. :dizzy:
OK. I guess you mean something by that. Maybe you'll figure out how to express it so that others can understand it one day. :up:
Where is corroborating evidence for the story of Joseph in Genesis. Note: Multiple copies of Genesis is not corroboration.
Actually, multiple accounts of the same basic story is one of the ways historians judge the veracity of an account.
I guess that's why you want all the extant copies we have to be from a single, secondary source. However, this is simply not the case.
There is no other document, or hieroglyphs if you prefer, that support that Joseph was in Egypt and was second to the Pharaoh.
Argumentum ad ignorantium is a fallacy no matter how many times you try it.
We do have Egyptian history from this period of of time so we have to historical accounts that do not corroborate each other.
Argumentum ad ignorantium is a fallacy no matter how many times you try it.
Thus, the story of Joseph is unverified as historical fact.
Argumentum ad ignorantium is a fallacy no matter how many times you try it.
One would have thought you would have learned by now.
Pay attention: in no way did I just say that the story of Joseph is false. I stated that there is insufficient to draw a conclusion.
You're now answering a different question. This is a
non sequitur.
The question was not: "Is there sufficient evidence to draw a conclusion." The question is: "What evidence do you have to show that the account of Joseph is not accurate."
You pile fallacy upon fallacy and contribute little but nonsense.
Once again: the conversation:
C: Why not evolution?
S: Genesis is history.
C: Genesis is history, but not accurate.
S: Is the Joseph account accurate?
C: No.
S: Why do you think it is not accurate?
C: Because of documents, artifacts.
S: What specific documents and artifacts show the Joseph account inaccurate? |
You have to answer the questions I ask, not invent your own questions to answer.
If you do, then you will be arguing from ignorance. Or faith. Which will it be?
Evidence. History, remember?
C: Why not evolution? History, remember?
S: Genesis is history. Asserted by Stripe. We are working toward figuring out whether this assertion is justified. Slowly. This is a statement supported by evidence. Stripe has been asked multiple time to support this position, but the conversation has stalled because of the numerous fallacies and rabbit trails.
C: Genesis is history, but not accurate. Asserted by Cabinetmaker
S: Is the Joseph account accurate?
C: It is unknowable. This answer has changed, making the subsequent conversation obsolete. |
Multiple copies of the same document are still the same document.
Ultimately, you are correct. However, by asserting this, you are undermining your claim that the history is "unknowable."
I think you are being irrational.
That's nice.
Then start posting links to all these documents so that we can see that you are right. What does it mean about your claim if you do not post the links to the documents that you claim support you?
You mean other than the link I posted?
This is exactly how rational dialog works, you make a claim, i question you about the basis of your claim and you respond. You seem unable to complete the last part. Why is that? Why can't you tell us how you determined that Genesis is the best creation account that we have?
For the reasons given. Your conduct is utterly senseless.
This is also how academic discussions work. You make a statement and then your peers question you regarding your statement. You are expected to defend your statement against their questions. Again, this is how rational dialog works.
Except when the questions are stupid.
C: Why not evolution?
S: Genesis is history.
C: Genesis is history, but not accurate.
S: Is the Joseph account accurate?
C: That cannot be determined.
S: Is the Joseph account possibly accurate? |
This is where the conversation is at. Try to answer the bolded question rather than making up a question to answer. :up:
