(249) Shakespeare Expert Prof. Gelfert. His unspeakable killer argument "Conspiracy Theorists" part 4


What a bizarre distortion of the facts!

In his german -> Introduction Chapter "-->Who created  Shakespeare's Works?" expert Prof.Dr. Hans-Dieter Gelfert (FU Berlin) commented in his  book "William Shakespeare in his time (2014)" on  the authorship of Conrad's thesis: "Marlowe = Shakespeare". 




Hans-Dieter Gelfert

Translation of the last Paragraph (of Gelferts book)" The real reason of doubt about Shakespeare is not his supposed lack of education, but the widespread interest in conspiracy theories. It seems to be in the nature of men  that he has more confidence in his faith  than in sound scientific knowledge, because the essence of knowledge in science is  always  subject to its possible falsification, while faith does not allow doubt .

If one has once converted to faith, it cannot be disproved anymore. This is the reason why all belief systems are immune to doubt.(....)

After all, even the most absurd conspiracy theories often have positive side effects. For example, what ... Bastian Conrad implies in favor of his favorites, is  little convincing, but he deserves recognition for the merit of having shone with a large amount of research in niches of the Elizabethan society and culture that would otherwise have remained obscure.

How could Shakespeare expert Gelfert ever assume that  Marlowe's works during his lifetime was printed under the name "Marlowe"?  One has to conclude,  that Gelfert is a flawless, uninformed conspiracy theorists!

 What a bizarre distortion of the facts!

What on earth is going on  here ? Who is actually the believer without any doubt, and who has been working withgreat effort a decade against the doubt and tried to make extensive scientific "detective work on contemporary history"?
