All I did was break apart the reasons the "hard evidence" you suggested was not, in fact, hard evidence, but instead relied on a number of fairly obvious assumptions to qualify as even weak evidence. I happen to think it does  qualify as weak evidence, but that's just my take on it.

Firstly, it's not I who said there is "hard evidence" it is NT scholars like Erhman and Hurtado. And I've previously provided links to where both of them have said explicitly that there is hard evidence.

Secondly, what qualifies you to say the evidence is "weak"?

Let me give a personal example. I can prove to my satisfaction that my friend Trevor died when he was 17 in 2000. I know his DOB, I know his date of death, I know his family, and I attended his funeral. However he was cremated and he has no plot.

What physical evidence do you suppose there is of his existence besides anecdotal evidence like mine?

Multiple public records, medical casefiles, photos of him stuff he collected, there would be DNA traces on stuff around his room and so it goes on. There would be both direct and indirect evidence for his existence and there is also the fact that it is a mundane claim so only mundane evidence is required.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
