George,
As a scientist you must know that the weighing of probabilities plays a
significant role in the application of the scientific method and in the
proper assessment of the results deriving therefrom. I put it to you that
the evidence I have gathered strongly points to the existence of a second
channel of communication complementing the words of the original Hebrew and
Greek biblical texts. While such truth is not to be found among the writings
of the Christian Fathers, nor in the syllabuses of our theological colleges,
I believe it should be recognised and declared by those qualified to make an
impartial judgment of the facts. Clearly, you are included in this category.
A bald denial that such things can ever be is surely an unworthy and poor
substitute for the closely-argued rebuttal.
It would be a pity to discontinue our discussion at this juncture, for this
really is an important matter - as you must realise.
Shalom,
Vernon
