What's worse it is demonstrable nonsense, since my criteria for credulity would not require an a priori belief, or disbelief in any other supernatural claims, each claim is judged on its own merits, and held to the same critical standard.(February 11, 2025 at 3:39 pm)Sheldon Wrote: If (hypothetically) the resurrection (of the Jesus character) in the gospel myths, were objectively demonstrated to have happened, this would still not in and of itself represent sufficient objective evidence he was a deity, rather it would represent something we could not explain.
Does this about sum it up so far, or have I missed something?
It certainly sums up this verse:
"If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead " Luke 16:31.
If you disagree with any or all of my post, why not explain why, that's generally the best way to debate something.
Lets frame them as simple questions then:
@John 6IX Breezy
1. Do you agree that if we could (hypothetically) objectively demonstrate that the gospel resurrection story of Jesus were possible, it would not in and of itself represent objective evidence that a deity exists / is possible?
2. Do you agree that if (hypothetically), in the future science demonstrated it was possible to resurrect a human after they had been brain dead for three days, this would not objectively demonstrate the gospel resurrection story was true / possible?
3. Do you agree that is (hypothetically), in the future science demonstrated it was possible to resurrect a human after they had been brain dead for three days, this would demonstrate objective evidence that such a resurrection does not require a deity?
If you disagree you can then say why.
