Uh, did you mean me? I only asked what you mean by reasonable. Words are used so elastically I often have no idea what someone actually means, so I can't assess the question.
If you didn't mean me, never mind, carry on.
I can defeat the normal use of the word reasonable in one sentence.
There is no credible, testable, evidence that anything about it is true above some mundane history. Can the book counter this argument?
As a scientist you should be able to see this is enough to dismiss any claim. If not, you're refusing to apply the same standard. Religion don't get no free pass. Unless this book has fantastic new evidence, it's not going to matter. Supernatural claims are virtually impossible to verify, and certainly not by text. So unless you have some other meaning of reasonable, you're asking the impossible.
Then we've got the problem of what being Christians means. It means almost anything.
