In the Biblical Series lecture XIV: Jacob Wrestling with God, shortly after the 2:00:00 point, Jordan Peterson uses the phrase "you're pushing your hypothesis" to mean that someone is making unlikely speculation only to hold on to what was originally posited. It's something many quackademics are guilty of. This is powerful terminology to be used in persuasive writing / speaking.

New to me.

Great term.

Great example use.

Link?

As an atheist, I've had a lot more Christian conversations in the last half year than usual. I live with Xians, work for two, and have believers and nons. Ironically all of them are skeptical of the authority of people, all of them don't believe in all other religions, they just have one more to go - but can't see through their logical fallacies.

They talk in circles as much as socks - but without the malice.

I didn't bother with that initially because links die eventually while it can be looked up with the full title so long as the video is somewhere out there. Well, I can give a link anyway. Here.

What are Xians?

Thanks.

Xians are Christians (and there are other Chinese uses for Xian). https://duckduckgo.com/?q=xian+christian

Xmas is Christmas.

Jesus was crucified on a cross (X).
