I've been rather tied up with work recently... Hence the lack of postings ;> However, you see some interesting thoughts I've been putting together on The Exodus Myth at Evidence.info.

I've had problems with blogger, so my log is a little out of date. I've made various minor changes here and there. The big news, however, is that Tektonics seem to have taken an interest in PTET... Now isn't that nice ;>

Updated my Links, Quotes and Was Jesus Christ a real historical figure? pages.

Updated The myth of the "Virgin Birth" as a fulfillment of prophecy to include a quotation from Josephus which may explain the mistranslation of "maiden" in the book of Messiah.

Updated Reasons not to believe Hugh Ross's Creation Model with links to What does the Bible say about creation from ReligiousTolerance, and a critique of Ross' Hebrew and interpretation of the Bible, by Mark Perakh: A Crusade of Arrogance.

Added links to my usenet postings.

Updates following some helpful comments on the Evidence.Info message board:

Why the 'Christian God' is immoral, needy and irrational

I've begun a major update of my page on the composition of the New Testament, with information from from The Journal of Biblical Studies confirming that it is impossible to date any of the canonical gospels before the second century CE...

Updated 7Q5: Is it 'Mark' and does it matter? with a quote from Thiede implying that the scriputres are the final arbiter of their own authority...

Major update of The Resurrection on Trial with a discussion on the unreliability of the Gospel accounts.

Updated Testing the reliability of the New Testament to discuss the theory that the "census of Quirinius" mentioned by Luke refers to an oath of allegiace required by the Emporer Augustus in 2 or 3 BCE.
