[Philo Sofee]

Both Derek and RIchard have contacted me this morning, and they are really excited to be on the show tomorrow night. That has me excited and I look forward to a great show. I will be having Derek on many times in the new year as well. We are planning some series together that is gonna just ROCK THIS JOINT! If you haven't, you ought to check out his Mythvision videos, they are some of the best in the world, and I am not exaggerating either. He has really put together some astounding information with the scholars of the world. I am going to begin doing the same, and with Derek's blessing and help! SOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!

Derek is awesome. he gives it his all and is very good at what he does including getting the gest scholars. I can't recommend his stuff enough. I've been a follower, donor, patron for years. And as many of you know I've enjoyed Richard Carrier's work for years as well. If it all possible I'm gonna try to tune in live. I love Philo too, but we all know him. Not much more needed to endorse him.

I was very super excited to hear about the college courses they are offering and sharing! I am grateful I can be a small part of it all...

Last year I had this exchange with Richard Carrier:

Hello Mormons (LDS) are using Baysian statistics to try and prove the possible historicity of their sacred text the Book of Mormon. https://interpreterfoundation.org/estim ... vidence-0/ Is such a project plausible?

I doubt it. It’s probably just more Crank Bayesianism, just like the Kalam Cosmological Argument is Crank Logic. They claim they have evidence that has only a 1 in 10 to the 20th power chance of existing today unless the Book of Mormon were authentic (whatever they take that to mean). If that were true they could get this passed peer review at any prestigious science journal (even particle physics requires no more than a 1 in 10 to the 6th power). There is a reason they won’t.

Yep. we said more of the same. There is simply no way he would have posted all that on Interpreter if he knew he had a real case in the Book of Mormon's favor. It would have been submitted to something a lot more realistic and peer reviewed to be published.

I hope they go back to your show soon.
