So it's similar to the historically accurate golden fleece I saw at the Titans of Olympus Museum in Greece?

Don't be silly.

We're talking about actual physical writings that can be dated to a certain era, hence making the stories they described entirely accurate.

Similar to the Easter Island Moai, which we know literally contained the deified spirits of dead leaders, since we can trace the heads back to a certain specific time frame - the time frame, NOT coincidentally, that these spirits are said to have inhabited the heads.

By the way, I have the book Struwwelpeter. It belonged to my grandmother and this edition can be dated to 1923. This dating capability as well as the physical evidence (the book in my hands) proves that there actually is a Great Long Red-Legged Scissors Man.

HTH.

See how that goes?
Actually, no - I don't even understand a word of it. It's gibberish.

Yes, exactly as I said. A completely circular argument, with no evidence whatsoever to support it except for the argument itself.

Exactly as I said. You refuse to even entertain any possibility at all that you may be wrong. Whereas those against whom you are arguing generally admit that they may be, but that the overwhelming evidence is that they are correct. I know there are some anti-religionists here who are not that intellectually honest, but I think for the most part what I said is accurate.

If that golden fleece is historically accurate, then, yes, of course.

Yep and I'm still correct too. And you are still wrong.

That is 100% correct that I do not entertain even a billionth or a trillionth of a percent that I could be wrong about God. I find that rather charming.

Except it would bend and break in the swells. And trust me, as a sailor, you need to experience what it truly is like on the water. That boat could not have survived. Period. Others have outlined why before.

These are steel ships:
