Quote:The resurrection can be disproved beyond a shadow of a doubt. Because outside the New Testament we have no other evidence from contemporary historical records for the resurrection or any other miracles Jesus preformed in the gospels
Not so,argument from ignorance. All we can say is there is no credible evidence for the existence of an historical or biblical Jesus.
Quote:A false dilemma may take the form:
If a proposition has not been disproven, then it cannot be considered false and must therefore be considered true.
If a proposition has not been proven, then it cannot be considered true and must therefore be considered false.
Such arguments attempt to exploit the facts that (a) true things can never be disproven and (b) false things can never be proven. In other words, appeals to ignorance claim that the converse of these facts are also true (therein lies the fallacy).
