Right, but neither can you say it is not a cartoon show because there is not enough data. Do you see your argument is faulty?

Quote:I brought Batman up as an example of why your claims about the size of the bible's following over the years is irrelevant. That being because having a bunch of authors over a long period of time doesn't validate the claims within the books, it doesn't make the characters in the books real, nor does it produce witnesses that can be found, living or dead.
When Abraham was told to go to the land of Canaan, he was just one person, yet he was right. And if he was right then we would require a God with massive amounts of grace to have a follow today where we are now with 1 in 3 people on the planet calling themselves Christians or some large amount like that. It is revelant. If there was still only one person or a few people following Christianity then it would not hold much weight.

You are missing the point about number of sources. You can't claim there is a lack of sources since Jesus has more sources for Him than any ten figures in antiquity.

Since the number of sources is not an issue, then look at the evidence in which over 99% of scholars who do their primary work on the resurrection for good reasons agree the disciples truly believed they had seen Jesus alive from the dead in various group settings.

The burden remains on you to deal with this. "Every document apparently ancient coming from the proper repository or custody and bearing on its face no evident marks of forgery, the law presumes to be genuine and devolves on the opposing party the burden of proving it to be otherwise."
