Episode 9: Counting Trolleys.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s Papaia’s turn to check in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assistant: Passports and tickets, please\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Papaia hands the documents to the assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assistant: How many bags do you have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Papaia: Um\u2026 we haven’t counted them yet\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They count the bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Papaia: There should be \u2026 twenty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assistant: I’m sorry, but I can’t check in twenty bags for four people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Papaia: We can pay the excess!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assistant: Let me see your ticket; let’s see what I can do\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Papaia: Here you go\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assistant starts typing on the computer. While they wait, the discussion about the book continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banani: Hey Ravioli! Are you still reading that book? What’s the second fact?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ravioli: I was just reading it! The second fact is that Jesus’ disciples were convinced that he had risen from the dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banani: Couldn’t they have been a bit out of their minds from his death? After all, they had spent a lot of time together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ravioli: Maybe, but what matters is that they believed it was true. They preached it publicly and were willing to die for it.
Banani: And how do the experts deduce this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ravioli: It says here that Paul himself was a witness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banani: But Paul’s letters are part of the New Testament, which is full of errors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ravioli: Yet, almost all scholars agree that many of Paul’s letters are authentic. It seems Paul personally knew Jesus’ disciples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banani: If that’s true, we would have an eyewitness account regarding the disciples’ claims about Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ravioli: That’s what the scholars think\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Igor: One day, I’ll write a book as an eyewitness. Indeed, in the history of aviation, there’s never been a trip as bungled as this one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
