There are no surviving testimonies of people who have seen the empty tomb (scholars generally take the authenticity of the Testimonium Flavianum with a grain of salt, by the way). Meanwhile, in the third of a century since Elvis Presley died, many people have claimed to have seen him alive since August 16, 1977. The moral of the story is that claims on their own are meaningless.Ashendant Wrote:Quote:You've demonstrated your inability to think critically.

One can observe that people have such experiences. One can observe that people claim to have seen an empty tomb. Etc.
