No, claims need evidence, and you can't support a claim with another part of the claim. Saying "the early church fathers record that..." is no more convincing than saying that propaganda is always curiously positive about its subject.
Quote:Just like Muslims the Apostles believed in their faith, but the difference is the Apostles believed in what they saw, not just a belief.
How do you know they saw anything at all?
