I don't believe any of the scrolls that overlap with biblical canon are believed to be originals, so what do you mean by fake? It sounds like you just want to take a jab at them because they're of religious significance, which is just as irrational as religious people who don't like scientific theories they don't even understand because they feel it's an enemy to their rrligion.

- CelestialTeapot 7y ago"I don't believe any of the scrolls that overlap with biblical canon are believed to be originals, so what do you mean by fake?" That's true of any bible text we have. The original texts are lost, hence biblical exegesis and hermeneutics exist as disciplines. And which "canon" are you talking about? The 5th century canon before the East-West schism of the Eastern Orthodox-Catholic church? The 16th century canons of the Roman Catholic or the Church of England? There are a lot of canons out there.
- TallGuyShort 7y ago@CelestialTeapot - that's my point - this is like claiming someone's Bible is fake. Well... fake like it's not true? Because that's irrelevant to this evidence. Fake like it's an unlicensed forgery or something?
- emmelaich 7y agoOn the contrary I'd like them to be genuine. By fake I mean made to look older than they are; and possibly planted in the caves. And note I said "not far-fetched"; not likely, just less improbable than previously.
