- I'm not arguing that I got up this morning. Presumably you are arguing
- that Jesus was crucified and resurrected. However, I could provide
- the sorts of proof that are generally considered sufficient in science
- that I woke up this morning--pictures of me at my workstation, time
- stamped EEGs, time stamped polygraphs, that sort of thing to prove
- it in the usual scientific fashion. I doubt you can do the same for
- any of the claims that Mr. Hudson is making.

- You're begging the question. It only follows that Peter believed what
- 1 Peter says if it is shown that Peter wrote 1 Peter. Since this
- has not been shown, I do not need to show that 1 Peter does not
- indicate a belief in resurrection to show that it does not logically
- follow from 1 Peter that Peter believed in resurrection.
