   Another of the many, specialized Frederic Rice speculations not related to
scientific fact but stated as if it were.  It comes from the studies of 
orton
Smith, the historian who I heard and read and it IS speculation based on his
"beliefs" and his discovery of _The Secret Gospel of Mark_.  You can wow
others here with it but not me.  I retain my integrity with regard to what is
KNOWN and what is merely speculation in ancient literature.
   And YOU claim to be a SCIENTIST, holding things that are not known in
suspense.  You are somewhat in the same intellectual class with Andrew
Cummins.  Why don't you now call ME silly.
   And in philosophy you couldn't hold a candle to Day Brown.  I don't always
agree with Day on EVERYTHING but he HAS read the material - even more than I
have in some cases.  You really should be more cautious.  This is NOT
Holysmoke despite all the refugees from it we have to tolerate here.
E per rire!!
Sincerely,
