What is your criteria based on which you feel something someone says calls for proof or not?
  • What if the claim were false?

    What if she wasn't from Pitcairn? No big deal other than her credibility comes into question.

    What if Gengis Kahn did not exist? Nothing lost, we already doubt our historical record.

    What if Jesus did not exist? Suddenly the largest religion's foundation is gone.

    What if God doesn't exist? Many people lose their reason for existing..

    That which has enormous impact should require proof of truthfulness.

    A real headache to argue over
  • First they would have to carry the head to the coast which is no easy task without a Toyota. You make it sound like crossing the Mediterranean is easy but storms are frequent and problematic. The ancient Israelites were not known for their seafaring prowess. In fact, they once got lost in the desert for 40 fucking years, so their ability to navigate by the stars is doubtful. Once they arrived in Italy, then, they would have had to cart that monstrosity hundreds of miles to Rome. And remember, this was before all road led there so, even more difficult. Finally, one should ask themselves why they would bother.

  • Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.
