“The Hero Savior of Vietnam” – The Burden of Proof

This is a story I found on the internet, by Richard Carrier. It was included in his article “Why I Am Not a Christian” (2006).

I though it was worth sharing because of its relevance to “the burden of proof” for evaluating extraordinary claims, and extraordinary stories. Note: this is not my story, but is from Richard Carrier.

I would highly recommend any books by Richard Carrier, particularly his newest: On the Historicity of Jesus: Why We Might Have Reason for Doubt
