Re: jonah and whale
Ken,
Please reread the posts by CA and others. No one is saying that miracles do not happen. They are asking, "If miracles are outside of science, why do ppl attempt to "prove" them scientifically?"
I do not recall ConsequentAtheist offering any written sources from scholarly sources.
CA isn't the one that made the claim "Jonah and the Whale - It happened!" CA is under no obligation to provide any sources. He HAS been asking you questions concerning YOUR sources.
No one here is making ANY claims what-so-ever concerning Jonah. They are asking you to show your evidence that this event happened. This does NOT mean evidence that it COULD have happened.
We are giving you a lot of leeway here Ken. I, for one, do not believe that you understand what is being asked of you.

Re: jonah and whale
As much as I would like to believe that you are listening to any critique of your work, I don't believe you are.
Brian's tone in his lengthy critique was informative, careful, and for the most part non-judgemental. You posted a paper that you have discussed publishing. Brian, as a teacher, gave you an editorial analysis of your writing and research style. He offered suggestions for making your point in a more scholarly way. He gave insights into how to present your information in a more ordered fashion.
He didn't discuss whether or not your information was factual, except in instances where his educational background gave him insight. He DID discuss whether or not you had actually made your case for them being factual. He offered assistance in helping you get primary sourse information for your paper.
I feel that your tone towards Brian was unbecoming an adult who has recieved invaluable and timeconsuming help with a paper he wants published. As you will find, if you attempt to publish in any type of scholarly or mainstream publication, an editor will tear your work apart.

Re: jonah and whale
NosyNed, I have no further comment. I believe I made my point. I do not feel the need to discuss this any further at this juncture and I am guessing it probably will not require any further commentary,
The original OP has changed so many times that no one could follow the original replies anyway. Brian, out of the goodness of his evil little heart, took an enormous amount of time and wasted it attempting to help Ken get his material publisable (or closer at any rate). Ken has then turned around and accused Brian of having ulterior motives, of nitpicking, and of just down-right being against him and his "facts".
Ken has been saying he is done, or won't be posting for several weeks, or months, or whatever since he started on this forum. These pronouncements of impending absence have yet to happen, but I think I will make his pronouncement of having no further comment come true.
Closing this down.
