Naturalistic explanation for the resurrection of Jesus

RE: Naturalistic explanation for the resurrection of Jesus
ziggystardust Wrote:However I may propose a hypothesis for a naturalistic explanation for the belief, that the he followers of Jesus had that Jesus had been resurrected from the dead. There is a well documented psychological phenomena which is called bereavement hallucinations. Bereavement hallucinations are hallucinations which loved ones of a recent deceased person experience of that deceased person. These hallucinations are so vivid that they often report seeing or hearing the departed person in some familiar environment, being visited in their dreams, or having conversations with them while being completely awake.

There is also the phenomenon that "persons believed dead rise again" ....Cataplexy?

Is this what you are after ziggy??? And of course it would be snapped up by an uneducated populace as 'truth' because of someone hearing of someone who knew someone who's relative suffered from this problem??

Medicine was not well understood (by todays standards) by the practitioners let alone the superstitous populace in that time period and even now we get stories like this...

So who's to say No Idea
