There is an extremely irritating argument in the rebuttal of biblical texts: precariousness in the process of reconstruction and transmission of ancient texts. Well, if we consider that the methods of transmission were precarious to the point of compromising the authenticity of what was written — and we have minimal coherence, — then we will have to throw in the trash all that was produced in antiquity; soon, we will be proclaiming the falsehood of, to cite a single example, all the work of Aristotle. I believe it is absurd to believe in the falsehood of what has been written and passed on in the light of thousands of witnesses over time, in absolute focus of attention: to this end, it will be necessary to believe in the joint action of many men of different generations in favor of forgery . This, to me, is a cowardly offense to the honorable initiative of so many over the centuries in order to preserve human knowledge; if we proceed in this way, we will end up strictly considering invalid the entire cultural production other than that of modernity.
