[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ad hominems were flying today.

Does the “evidence” that strongly suggests that he lived? Yes.

Do we have hard evidence such as independent, eye-witness accounts and/or archaeological artifacts? No.[/quote]

You're an outlier.[/quote]

And yet…

None have said we have hard evidence such as independent, eye-witness accounts or archaeological artifacts.

is “hard evidence” a term you learned in college?

Hard evidence?

Like the poster who used the legal term, “circumstantial evidence,” which is a customary legal term.

Now we have “hard evidence” poster.

I want to know exactly what “hard evidence” is. Please tell. [/quote]

You should have kept reading: 
“… such as independent, eye-witness accounts or archaeological artifacts.”

If anything, this thread taught some people some basics of probability as well as some proper definitions.
