Responding to my and Inspiring Philosophy’s critique of Davis and Bowen’s attack on the exodus/conquest narratives, Josh Bowen gave a defence of why you should follow the academic consensus using his medical condition (MS) as an example. /1

I have always said the best way to understand the Book of Revelation was to understand the OT.
New Testament scholars know the book of Revelation frequently makes use of the Old Testament. That is not the case with many readers of Revelation.

WTH!? Since when is an argument from positive evidence an argument from silence? A historical source can be wrong or unfounded, but that's not arguing from silence. Paulogia is creating the quintessential straw man, i.e., "no other evidence is an argument from silence." Silly.

A fascinating new discovery of an early alphabetic inscription written in a Semitic dialect that dates to the Early Bronze Age (ca. 2450-2300 BCE). This is a potential game changer for the history of the alphabet.

It is incumbent upon people who think to examine the data and decide whether a consensus is consistent with the evidence.
So, would you concur with this,
@InspiringPhilos
? /11

If no one ever challenged a consensus, there would be no new consensuses and no progress. Progress only occurs when one sees that the data is not congruent with the consensus and challenges the status quo. /10

Here's the facts when it comes to any academic consensus. Consensuses are not always right and don’t always agree with the data that is accepted even within its own field. Consensuses are sometimes driven by academic traditions or cults of personality. /9

Fundamentalism is a hard brittle eggshell too often conealing untested faith and unrealized discipleship. When broken, the contents pour out and the heat of hardship and trial transform the scramble into atheism. The two are more similar than different.

Humans are omnivores and we have more than one metabolic pathway to derive energy from food. So, I ignored the consensus and put myself on a ketogenic diet. And ever since, my A1Cs have been normal without medication, exercise, or the “healthy” consensus diet. /7

I, however, disagree that one should slavishly follow the consensus and have my own medical counterexample. I am a type-2 diabetic. My mother has been a diabetic since she was 40 and is on insulin. I was diagnosed 10 yrs ago after a string of high blood glucose tests. /2

Bowen is probably correct in following the medical consensus in the treatment of his MS. However, that in no way means that every consensus is correct or should be followed. I defeated my diabetes by defying the consensus treatment that was endorsed by the medical experts. /8

Diabetes occurs when you are resistant to insulin and your body can't remove glucose (mostly from eating carbohydrates) from your blood. The medical consensus is that progress of the disease can’t be reversed once diagnosed and most patients will manage it with medication. /3

The consensus is also that diabetes can only be treated by medication, exercise, and a balanced diet of whole grains and healthy carbohydrates (25%) and fruits and vegetables (50%) with minimal consumption of meats and fat (< 25%). /4

It disturbs me how many OECs/TEs insist upon sound scientific scholarship to support an old earth, then immediately turn around and abandon sound historical scholarship to embrace the likes of David Rohl.

How is eating more carbohydrates (even “healthy” carbohydrates) and minimizing meat and fat consumption going to help with a disease that resulted from eating carbohydrates? If eating carbohydrates caused the problem, why isn’t their elimination from my diet a good treatment? /6

I wouldn't share the faith until I understand what they reject. Are they rejecting holiness, a caricature of the Bible, the people who are representing the Bible?

AiG uses the same sort of reasoning when it comes to their attempt to explain how their date for the flood comes after the building of the Giza Pyramids, i.e., attack ANE history with ad hoc reasoning and doubt. It's hard to take what they say seriously.

Students should have a course in logic. But they should also be exposed to both liberal and evangelical scholarship.
I insisted in a doctoral seminar that a course in logic should be required of all students going through a doctoral program in biblical studies. Check this out!

The Thutmosis III scarab is interesting because it was made in a Ramesside style. Essentially, it is a memorial scarab that dates to dynasty 19.

Strong men in the church are called mean, divisive, and uncharitable, and are driven from leadership then replaced with those who are easily controlled. The problem with strong men is that they do not compromise on principle and cannot be swayed from it even when unpopular.

Who is providing oversight for these tweets now that Dr Heiser had passed away? To have authoritative statements representing Dr Heiser from an anonymized twitter account is concerning. How much are these the sentiment of Heiser vs. the sentiment of his trustees?

This is obviously wrong. The pyramids are made from stone or mudbrick, not concrete. At unfinished pyramids, we find unfinished stone blocks that are not in perfect block shapes. Many stones have chisel, saw, and quarry marks. Plus, we have the remains of the quarries. Debunked.
