On another channel (which shall go nameless), the host put down Dr. Carrier's work having been peer-reviewed. I don't think most people really understand this (although it is one of the most important aspects of the scientific method). "Peer" means equal. So Dr. Carrier, having a doctorate in history, gets his books reviewed by other historians (and probably historians of roughly the same subjects). But a christian apologist could get his work passed through a peer review process and it just means by other hard-core believers. Clearly not by people being skeptical unless the author is steeping outside the current dogma.

>ut a christian apologist could get his work passed through a peer review process and it just means by other hard-core believers. "Peer" doesn't mean "people who think the same way you do" but refers to a level of education, knowledge, and esteem. A dozen "degrees" from PhD mills does NOT confer any respectability on the apologist who spent a couple of thousand for inkjet "diplomas" issued from a trailer. The publications which publicize peer-reviewed research THEMSELVES are subject to the scrutiny of peers. Even *Nature* has been caught out.and forced to print retractions. And that'S ANOTHER sign of legitimacy. No matter how embarrassed they might be, REAL sources will pring public retractions and explain EXACTLY what happened, how and why, all in the interests of making sure that doesn't happen again.

Meu nome é Maykon, sou brasileiro, e tenho todos os livros do Doutor Richard Carrier. Na minha opinião, ele foi o único a abordar, de forma séria, o estudo sobre o Jesus histórico. Concordo plenamente com a sua conclusão; que Jesus foi um ser celestial historicizado com o passar do anos. Todos os livros dele ( Richard Carrier ) são obras de arte, pois escreve bem, tem bons raciocínios, apresenta evidências e é muito honesto em suas conclusões. Faço historia também, mas seu livro sobre o "Teorema de Bayes" ajudou-me bastante a obter os fundamentos filtrados de forma crítica. Pesar na balança das probabilidades, todas as hipóteses possíveis dado a todo o conhecimento geral que obtemos. Sou seu fã Richard Carrier! Você me inspirou a obter mais conhecimento. Sucesso Meste Richard Carrier ! E viva ao Teorema de Bayes !

Dr Carrier studies and really stresses things that were very common in those times. What was going on, how they thought, what writings actually meant and why they were written in the first place, what myth structure in writing was in those times, etc... He really helps you understand what was MOST LIKELY from those times because he helps you understand the culture of those times and places in a major way. Most scholars don't do that the way he does. His expertise is literally on those life and times of those places

Exactly the way I think too. Yet, I have been lectured by Christians more times than I can count, that there's no possible way I can know the difference between right and wrong unless I learned it in the Bible or from Christians. I've been told that it's not possible for me to be moral without God, because morals come from God. Along with that, when I quiz them a little deeper on their thinking, they confirm their belief that I will burn in hell for my lack of acceptance of Jesus or God in general. I find it odd that these people who judge me, are the people that have had drug/alcohol issues, financial problems due to lack of self control, or recently, one had a domestic violence event and his wife has now left him. Funny that I avoid all those problems that these so called moral people get themselves into. Somehow, these observations don't register in their brains.

Keep in mind that when Boltzmann proposed his molecular-based model and the laws of statistical mechanics in the late 1800's, his community of peers pretty much totally ignored him. It was only after his death (at his own hand) and after undeniable work by Einstein and others that people recognized that Boltzmann had been absolutely right and had in fact made a major contribution to science. So - while peer review is the best thing we have and absolutely should be one's starting point, it is not infallible. Ultimately it is just a "majority rule" type situation, and as such can go wrong. One thing you could in this context is that rejection by peer review is much more likely to be "correct" if the idea at hand has been around for a long time - it tends to be major breakthroughs that get ignored "for a while." If an idea has been around for ages and is still peer-rejected, then it's likely a bad idea.

The Jesus myth is pretty much just Dionysus with some added Judean influence. Much like the large syncretism between Gods and regions. Read the Bacchae by Euripides and then the Gospel of John, it's pretty much the same basic story. A son of the highest God (Zeus in Greek is also called "The God" as is Dionysus) and a mortal woman, who takes on a human form and comes down to earth. Both to regions of their families and kin which reject them and who they claim to be. Both arrive and have female followers. Both are of the Vine and have Wine and bread/meat as their blood and body and if you drink and eat it, you shall attain eternal life and revel. Both have water change to Wine in scenarios to do with them. Both meet a blind person. And the many female characters have parallels. Both give themselves up to be captured by rulers and do not answer questions when interrogated, except to only mention their fathers. Both die and are then resurrected.

I wish I understood, on a spiritual or theoretical level, why people stopped worshipping the sun. Its a god like presence from which all "things", both "good or bad" spring from. And, as far as we know there is no life anywhere else in the universe, thus our "god" is the one true creator. I dont believe any of this, more proposing it as a thought experiment as to why we give such importance to mythical beings in the form of man instead of a true celestial bringer of life like the sun.

Passing peer review is an important milestone even if the material isn't immediately accepted by expert consensus. It means that the work was done properly, the arguments are sound, etc. Peer review establishes a standard and Carrier's work meets that standard. Of course, take one of the bible colleges as an example. A professor in one of those institutions would have to agree to a "testament of faith" or some similar document that forbids him from having certain beliefs, such as the resurrection being a myth. This professor could write a book about how the resurrection happened and get it "peer reviewed" by peers in his university. On the surface this looks no different than what Dr. Carrier has done. But there are some important differences. Most important is that the religious professor is NOT free to go where the evidence leads, if it contradicts his testament of faith. Not being able to follow the evidence immediately undermines any really scholarly value in the work. It's a lowering of standards. Related point - The current "consensus" includes MANY "scholars" who come from these kind of religious institutions. At the moment, if we filter them out, there is still a majority of real scholars who do not accept Dr. Carrier's conclusions. This is true. But it neither makes Dr. Carrier right or wrong. It's simply a consensus opinion. The consensus could be wrong. In real scientific endeavors it is normal for the consensus to be wrong. Then someone comes along with a more accurate solution to a problem and the consensus recognizes this and adjusts. It can sometimes take time. We'll see if the consensus regarding Dr. Carrier changes. But we're talking about time. It could be a generation before we see the full effect of his work.

My guess is the brothers of jesus are just followers bec Paul does not seem to know much details about the life of jesus even after talking to the so called brothers of jesus.
