## Status meanings
|
||
|
||
| Status | Seal | Meaning |
|
||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||
| Green | Filled circle | Settled. Multiple lines of evidence agree; the answer can be stated with confidence. |
|
||
| Yellow | Half-filled circle | Strong case, but debated. Good evidence, yet serious scholars (including Christians) disagree, or it rests on a miracle the evidence supports but can't force. |
|
||
| Red | Open ring | Open. The evidence is too thin to conclude; present it and leave it open. |
|
||
|
||
For myth-busting questions (section 11), the status rates the *answer*. A Green "No" means the claim is debunked.
|
||
|
||
For the "missing books" table (3B), the status rates how confident we are that leaving the book out was right. Yellow there means major Christian traditions still disagree.
|
||
|
||
Only the owner sets or changes a status.
|
||
|
||
## Full article structure
|
||
|
||
Every full article uses these sections, in this order. Skip a section only if it truly doesn't apply.
|
||
|
||
1. **Short answer** — two or three sentences, matching the index answer.
|
||
2. **What Scripture says** — key passages, quoted briefly, with references.
|
||
3. **What the evidence says** — history, archaeology, science, philosophy, textual criticism, as relevant. One subsection per domain.
|
||
4. **Where they meet** — how Scripture and the outside evidence fit together.
|
||
5. **What's still open** — an honest list of unresolved points and the best objections.
|
||
6. **Bottom line** — the verdict and why it has this status.
|
||
7. **Sources** — books, papers and pages used, with links where possible.
|
||
|
||
## Writing style
|
||
|
||
- Plain words, short sentences, active voice.
|
||
- Quote Bible passages briefly and name the translation the first time in each article.
|
||
- Present opposing views in their strongest form before answering them.
|
||
- Never present an estimate as a fact (example: Stoner's prophecy odds are an illustration, not measured data).
|
||
- Dates: "c. 300 BC", "AD 70". En dashes for ranges: "Mark 16:9–20".
|
||
|
||
## Owner notes
|
||
|
||
The index includes the owner's private notes (text starting "My Notes:" or "Note:"). They are drafting guidance for future articles. Keep them in the data as `authorNotes`, never render them publicly, and show them in dev mode only.
