I mean, in the book it even mentions that there are other people doing the exact same thing Jesus did. The book even implies that Jesus was not even one of the more popular trouble makers of the time. It's more or less the sophists in a back-woods community that the Romans gave very little fucks about. Not surprising there's little-to-no evidence.
Yes, and if you keep going on that speculation, you arrive at two options.
-
Keep assuming our senses are real until there is a reason not to.
-
Assume our senses are not real and attempt to discover what reality is.
Either way, science doesn't care because it's not about being right, it's about figuring out what is. Put another way: Change theories to suit facts instead of facts to suit theories.
Starting with a given is required, otherwise, as others here have said, anything goes.
The difference is that religion starts with a given that is absolute. If conclusions are incorrect, the understanding must be questioned because the given is absolute.
Science, on the other hand, regularly questions the given. If conclusions are incorrect (e.g. Mercury in retrograde dilemma) then the given is questioned until we have a better understanding. For science, there is no final solution because the posibility that we were wrong and will understand better the more we observe is science.
This better not be another attempt to reach me about my car's extended warranty, godamnit!
Building more isn't going to solve the problem.
Simply put, the homeless population is exponentially lower than the current number of vacant housing units (which, basically means landlords are almost exclusively the problem).
From gigafact.org "vacancies have decreased, from about 19 million in the first quarter of 2011 to about 14.5 million in the last quarter of 2022.
Homelessness has also decreased modestly from 623,788 in 2011."
So, if each homeless person got their own house, even the kids who are part of a homeless family, there would still be nearly 14 million vacant housing units held by greedy landlords.
Edit: Even looking at the overall numbers, there are about 142 million houses currently, and there are about 332 million people.
See? Nearly double the people? We need more houses.
Families. Families are anywhere from 2-5 people on average. So again, looking at the homeless population, which is listed as individuals, it would take less than 1/14th of the currently vacant housing units for no one to be homeless.
It would be OUR sports golf, at that point.
(Sorry, had to).

So, please read this as serious and no ulterior-motivation.
I'm hoping to release a game in a few years, and naturally I would like to sell it.
I am also supportive of this community and understand somewhat about the release date underground release.
I'd rather either get the revenue from my work directly, or give it away in exchange for donations, trade, or even nothing at all.
All this especially in light of how often independent creators get their shit stolen by megacorps.
Is there something I should be keeping an eye out for, or preparing for so everything goes smoothly at least with regards to this community?
That's a different Q.
This Q really looks nearly identical to a 2. So, for many of us in 3rd grade, we wrote about the 2ueen who 2uestioned why ducks say 2uack. It was 2uite difficult.
