Grad student seeking atheist to interview

[Mister Agenda]

Ranjr, What unsubstantiated claim am I making? That there were eyewitnesses to the resurrection of Jesus?

I don't take personal offense to ways of thinking that differ from my own. I am a former agnostic. I became a Christian at 31 years of age - so most of my life I was an unbeliever. It's not like this way of thinking is completely foreign to me - I understand unbelief.

Then you understand why a story about unnamed people who never wrote anything down about their experience told by someone who wasn't there claiming that they saw something impossible according to the laws of biology and physics isn't very convincing, right? It certainly fits the definition of an unsubstantiated claim. If I said I could fly like Superman and said 500 people saw me do it, you wouldn't consider my claim substantiated, would you?

Still hopeful we can have a stimulating conversation without all the blame.

The principle of credulity actually dictates that we should believe you, until we are presented with evidence that you are making this up.

If the principle of credulity leads you to assume such an obvious fiction is true, it ought more accurately be called the principle of gullibility.
