Colin is right, logically. The burden of proof is on you to prove something is. You can't really prove a negative.In this case, however, asking for proof is just silly as well. I can't PROVE to you that George Washington really lived or that Herman Melville really wrote Moby dork. I wasn't there. Even if I was, perhaps my senses deceived me.Christianity is a matter of faith. It requires certain presuppositions. While there are no contradictions between faith and reality, neither can reality PROVE faith beyond any doubt.
Actually Colin is not right in the broader sense. The burden of proof could be on Korunks to prove that the Gospel of Judas was not authentically a gospel. Or the burden of proof could be on Colin to prove that it is authentic. Considering that the vast majority of scholars and Christians have decided that it is not authentic, then Colin would be trying to buck the status quo and therefore would have the greater burden of proof.However, considering that Colin has already admitted that the Gospel of Judas has been proven false, I don't think he'll be trying to prove otherwise Quote from: Colin Michael on July 16, 2009, 07:19:35 AMAlthough it can be historically proven false...
