Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?

[SteveII]

Bold mine. This is what your whole post boils down to. 

The events during and following the life of Jesus are some of the most attested to series of events in ALL of ancient history. We know exactly what the first century Christians believed and much of what they did. Even Bart Ehrman thinks the NT is 99% of what it was originally. I don't care if you don't find it compelling. But this constant nonsense (not just you) of "no evidence" is just silly and show a lack of understanding the evidence, or bad reasoning skills, or misunderstanding definitions, or a bias you bring to the subject. 

In case anyone is hazy on the difference, here is an excellent discussion on it at http://pediaa.com/difference-between-evi...and-proof/

Your link is not an excellent discussion.

Proof is for maths and alcohol.

Evidence is proportionately weighed in light of the claim being made.

Water is normally wet. Easy.

Dead man rises and is also God. Hmmmm.

There are ancient texts from many cultures that say weird things that one can not now rationally believe.

There are even conspiracy theories in contemporary cultures that one doesn't rationally believe.

You have evidence, in the form of your OT and NT documents. I accept that.

Your evidence is not good enough to convince a skeptical mind IMHO.

Your God knows that, and, if real, would also know what would convince me.

It is plausible to me that he either doesn't exist, or doesn't care.

I haven't set up a formal logical dichotomy, I may agree, but.......

Fair points. I hope that God provides what you need to find him.
