Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach

Well, if we start at "very doubtful", then you have quite a task to get us up to "somewhat certain".

Are you talking about me being "somewhat certain that a man named Jesus historically existed around 2,000 years ago" or me being "somewhat certain that a man named Jesus did a whole bunch of magic 2,000 years ago"?

Because those aren't equivalent statements, and no one has brought up any evidence to make that second one budge much higher than "quite doubtful". If you're talking about the first one, then yeah, you can get that up to or even above "uncertain", but that's also not a really impressive or meaningful claim.
