Odd example but correct, we cannot know with absolute certainty. But her story doesn't feature magic, so it's much easier to believe.
Right, and it's much more likely that some true stories about a great dude got exaggerated a little bit over 2000 years, and vanishingly less likely that magic is real.
But both are absolutely possible.
Not exactly. Some things can be proven. But regarding things that happened thousands of years ago? Yeah that's just everyone's best guess and personal beliefs.
And forgive me for my use of "impossible" earlier, that's not my position.
"Highly improbable" is a way better qualifier.

Yeah I'll just unsubscribe thanks, I don't wanna be a member of a community that's so authoritarian. Now I just have to figure out how to keep it from showing up in All...
