Andrew shows that our method of predicting scroll length, properly applied, produces the correct result when applied to Gee's "Toronto scroll". As far as I'm concerned, this is the final validation of our method and our result, and should settle the debate concerning scroll-length calculation for all open-minded readers.


Ummm ... Andrew who?

See, I do have a life that sometimes distracts me from giving this board my full attention.

Presumably Andrew Cook, co-author with Chris Smith on the article that should already have been the final nail in the coffin of the "missing scroll" theory.

Or like the Smith 100+ essay? No one's seen it?


William Schryver claims not only to have seen it, but to have read it.

And though he is reticent to share details, declares it to not be a "hit piece" and yet thoroughly decimating to the "Dehlinites."

I don't know where Will "publishes," but does anyone know if he's delivered on this yet?

Well put. All this whining that Dehlin phoned a GA, and sent the MI into a tailspin. Isn't it ironic? To me, it says that apologetics is nothing more than an expendable side show.

The truth is that Schryver is the One Mighty and Strong sent to redeem the Lord's people through message boards and powerpoint presentations.

Well, if he was meant to have done it through publishing the written word, the Lord is probably feeling a tad disappointed in His choice of emissary....
