But there AREN'T any pointers, that's the issue.  For instance, I'm not seeing
how the th $100,000 para test and the 4 Macintosh street are related.  To me,
they're completely unrelated points of data.  How do they relate in your mind?

But you haven't provided any evidence.  What you've got is your bibliomancy
schtick which everyone's refuted about a million times already, and... well
that's it.  Nothing else.

If you assume the hypothesis "there IS a son of God", you get a reductio ad
absurdum.  You're the "absurdum" part of the reductio.

In which NG?  It's not in sci.skeptic.

If that had been the guess, I might have employed the priciple of charity and
called it a hit.  You came nowhere near that close.

Yeah, 'cuz I'm concerned for you.  Don't you care that someone cares enough to
give you some good advice?
