Carrier will eventually be seen as a major cause of the consensus shift among historians to Jesus mythicism.

I hope you'll have an opportunity to cross the puddle anytime soon, Mr. Carrier. On a tangent: you did great research on Roman science and scientists! I am reading it now.

From R. Joseph Hoffman. Atheist scholar and bible historian Harvard University on Richard Carrier.
The endorsement of amateurs by amateurs is becoming a rampant, annoying and distressing problem for biblical scholarship. The disease these buggers spread is ignorance disguised as common sense. They are the single greatest threat, next to fundamentalism, to the calm and considered academic study of religion, touting the scientific method as their Mod Op while ignoring its application to historical study. While there is some very slight chance that Jesus did not exist, the evidence that he existed is sufficiently and cumulatively strong enough to defeat those doubts.”

Now you've gone to the extremist fringe of scholarship.
