MERGED: The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part 1) & (Part 2)

No, it isn't always. There are objective measurements. One can test how quickly two different weights fall to see if they fall at the same speed. It's not a matter of opinion if they do.

Star Wars is fiction but one scene is a possible elaboration of my point. In the scene where an admiral mocks Darth Vader's religious conviction, Darth Vader didn't say, "you can't prove The Force isn't real." He didn't quote scripture. He didn't cite the Ontological Argument for the Force. Darth Vader accepted the burden of proof and provided a compelling demonstration. I promise if that scene had been real, not a single aforcist admiral would have left that briefing room that day.

Quote:Obviously, there is enough evidence to convince me...so what evidence YOU think is sufficient enough FOR you is entirely up to YOU...but as for me, I am very much convinced...about 99.9% convinced
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. This is how we operate in all areas outside religious faith. So far, I have seen NO evidence at all and plenty to the contrary.

Your god isn't real. I don't have to prove he's not real. The complete absence of evidence is sufficient to rationally make that skeptical claim. You have to prove he is real.
