Amazing, isn't it that the book written thousands of years ago by knowledgeable people much closer to the events described proves accurate once again to the astonishment of 21st Century liberal academics.

Thanks. One of my all-time faves was a remarkably stupid statement in the 19th c that what was then modern scholarship (or rather, what passed for scholarship) had proved for all time that Abraham had never existed. That was the same day the facepalm was invented I think.

Thanks!

I’ve begun to consider doing something like that with the GGG ping message, but I really do like all those links in the side thing.

Heh... yeah, although that’s not foolproof of course, because grinding axes and pushing agendas isn’t anything new.
