I'm sorry, do you not play by those rules in every area of life outside your favorite religion?
If I tell you "I had lunch with my wife today", are you not more likely to believe that than "I had lunch with my deceased father who's back from the dead and feeling much better today".
I'm guessing you play by these rules in every area of life outside of Christian claims. Otherwise, you'd wear yourself out considering all manner of fanciful claims, including many other religions.

Why is this an extraordinary claim?
Life exists on this planet now. It didn't five billion years ago. Even you believe in "life from non life" but while science tries to understand the process, you just quip GodDidIt. That's the only difference.
Quote:I didn't know that saying a man existed in 1st century Judea named "Jesus" who had followers called "Christians" was an extraordinary claim
I'm sorry, was that the claim of the OP?
Title of the OP Wrote:The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part 1)
Sounds like an extraordinary claim to me.
