I think you are setting up a straw man argument. The issue here is simply whether or not a reasonable basis for making such a calculation exists especially when the research has been peer evaluated by religious historians? Is it accurate or not, by how much, is not what this thread was all about. Indeed, it is beyond mine and your (I presume) expertise since this is not our fields of specialty.
Of course, you are free to question the validity of these findings as much as I am free to dispute Obama’s interpretation of the constitution.
You indicated that I had pulled a 30k number out of the blue. That it was not.
Nope, no straw man. No, I did not mean to indicate you pulled it out of the blue, but that you are spreading something that has shown to be wrong. This subject has been discusses several time on FR. Many people throw that number out there and don’t have a clue where it comes from, or that is has been shown to be incorrect. It is also clear that you don’t seem to even want to read why it has been shown wrong. That is your choice.
