The goal: To take common sense about the Bible and make it rigorous. I'm an analytic philosopher, specializing in theory of knowledge. I've published widely in both classical and formal epistemology. On this channel I'm applying my work in the theory of knowledge to the books of the Bible, especially the Gospels, and to apologetics, the defense of Christianity. My aim is to bring a combination of scholarly rigor and common sense to these topics, providing the skeptic with well-considered reasons to accept Christianity and the believer with well-argued ways to defend it.

Unstated Gospel Symbolism: Fudge factors!

In this final video in the series I discuss the use of fudge factors. These are ad hoc changes in a hypothesis of unstated symbolism that occur while the theorist still states that the resemblance between the numbers, events, passages, etc., is just too much for coincidence and hence favors some sort of intentional but unstated symbolism by the author.I discuss two places where people have overtly used such fudge factors.At the end I make a comparison to the claim that the two Temple cleansings in John and the Synoptics are just *too similar* to each other to be two different events, even though they are just generally similar. Enjoy!Thumbnail image fudge licensed under creative commons, copied from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fudge#/media/File:Vegan_Chocolate_Fudge.jpg
