Since none of us have yet recieved direct prophecy from God, we

To which Dave Washburn answered:
This is perhaps the biggest fallacy of all in "modern" scholarship. "It hasn't happened to me
or anyone I know, therefore it doesn't happen." Yes, I know I'm simplifying, but that's the
essence of the argument. And it's nothing but a cop-out.


No, it's not. I didn not say that "it doesn't happen", only that since I have no empirical evidence of it happening, I can not figure it in as a factor.
