Am I correct that DCP is a professor currently employed at BYU?
Yes.
So you're chasing around a fly and in your world, I'm the idiot?

Tom wrote:Gary Habermas, a professor at Liberty University, has written a number of articles and books arguing for the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. One of his articles, ""The Case for Christ’s Resurrection," can be read here. I cite this article because I've found strong similarities between passages in the article and a blog post published in August 2017 by Dr. Peterson titled "Some notes toward an essay on the resurrection of Jesus." Peterson's post does not cite Habermas. Here follows a comparison between passages in Peterson's blog post and Habermas' article. [SNIP!]
Sounds to me like Peterson has some 'splainin to do, to say the least. But I also wanted to comment. I find it downright adorable the Koester quoted, and then cited himself in order to avoid any appearance of evil or plagiarism, lest some do-gooder like Tom and company uncover his plagiaristic ways.
I think it's the devil that causes someone to plagiarize. no one would do that on their own accord. it is clearly Jesus of the lovely land of Nazareth that causes someone to cite and quote him/herself.

please note, that was not my post. I was quoting a post from an earlier thread.
I have a question wrote:Unintentional plagiarism Lemmie?
you'll have to ask Liz. I had it in quotes with a source link, she's the one who, um...unintentionally called it mine!

It'd be kind of cool if Honor Code enforcement there were more preoccupied with ensuring academic integrity instead of enforcing obedience to silly LDS social norms. I'm mystified that this seems to fly under the radar while kids get turned away from the testing center for having some stubble.
I'm glad I didn't go play that game and got to live in the real world instead. I guarantee that my Alma Mater would not have put up with these sorts of antics.
“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
The immortal words of famed tennis player John McEnroe come to mind at this time: "You can't be serious, man. You cannot be serious!"1
1. John McEnroe, All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, The Championships, Wimbledon, Wimbledon, London, England, Jun. 22, 1981. McEnroe, who was playing Tom Gullikson, confronted umpire Edward James after a serve of McEnroe's was called out. See Mitch Phillips, "It was 30 years ago? You cannot be serious!"

“A scholar said he could not read the Book of Mormon, so we shouldn’t be shocked that scholars say the papyri don’t translate and/or relate to the Book of Abraham. Doesn’t change anything. It’s ancient and historical.” ~ Hanna Seariac
This thread is one of the most dramatic events on MDB in some time. To think that DCP is following this thread and editing his work in response to it is rather incredible. The possibility that other BYU employees are following it too is even more riveting. It’s like a race.
