I'm going back to bed.
Oblivion is so much better than this.
Wow. Some people amaze me with their stupidity.
And now I'm gonna feel stupid, but what's POE stand for? I'm new here, and I can't figure it out.
"How do you scientifically prove something was written by a specific person?"
Compare handwriting with a sample of known provenance? I think Bob's saying that the Dead Mediterranean Sea Scrolls are in the same handwriting as Jesus' GCSE Woodworking exam, found in a cave under Ayer's Rock in Australia. You, know the one they call "The Bethlehem Paper"?
Let me guess: You have "studied"(Sunday School, Vacation Bible School?) this therefore you are correct? fwiw, many of the scrolls date back to 200 BCE. Now THAT has been scientifically proven. For crying out loud....do any of you ever try to research your declarations? It's not that difficult. Books too expensive? Then Google "Dead Sea Scrolls." I imagine you'll get a hit or two.
"The dead sea scrolls were found in a cave on the Mediteranean ocean, and were scientifically proven to have been written by Jesus."
What'd they do, compare handwriting samples?
"The dead sea scrolls were found in a cave on the Mediteranean ocean..."
The Mediterranean Sea isn't an ocean, and they weren't found there.
"... and were scientifically proven to have been written by Jesus."
What "scientific" evidence was used to "prove" their authorship? Do other samples of Jesus's handwriting exist? Does the writing style match that of Jesus? (How do you know Jesus's writing style, anyway? He didn't write any of the NT, you know.)
1. This brain-dead poltroon couldn't find the Mediterranean OR the Dead Sea on a world map if he stared at it for a month.
2. There's no evidence that Jesus could write at all; if he could have, he'd surely have left behind a remarkable body of work. He certainly couldn't write retrospectively (that is, centuries before his own birth).
I love the way Bob just chucks in the terms 'scientifically proven', as if it would persuade anyone that he knew what the fuck he was talking about. What a twerp.

So Jesus wrote a bunch of texts 100 years he was born, signed them (how else do we know he wrote them)put them in a dead sea cave and then magically moved that cave to the Mediterranean?
Wow, he was magical, wasn't he.
So many wrongs, where to begin...
Of course they were found in the Mediterranean, that's why they are called the Dead Sea Scrolls!
How the heck do you prove that a specific person wrote something over 2000 years ago? Especially when there is no scientific evidence for that person even to have existed...
The scrolls date back to about 150 years before the birth of Jesus. It's fascinating that he could write something so many years before he was born.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
