Weigh Evidence On Your Own

I just finished listening to Killing Jesus by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard. It occurs to me that many would take this book as word for word truth even when the authors clearly state, that this is their interpretation of the evidence they were witness to.  I admire the passion it takes to write as an authority on any subject because it takes a tremendous amount of RESEARCH.

It is important to know that ANYONE can do research.  According to UC San Diego :

Research consists of:

  • Asking a question that nobody has asked before; 
  • Doing the necessary work to find the answer; and 
  • Communicating the knowledge you have acquired to a larger audience.
Take each piece of evidence and weigh it for yourself.
