Quote:It wasn't until the 1950's that scholars seriously questioned the resurrection? Is that not in itself a cause for concern? And if they did just begin this line of inquiry then does that mean that scientists have been becoming more religious since then? I find it difficult to support that scientists of the dark ages and renaissance would not have been more inclined to be religious. And if you agree that during this period scientists would have been more religious than in modern times then what caused the lull in religious fervor besides increasing technological advancement and scientific discovery? And more importantly what is driving this religious fervor that is beginning to resemble the climate of the aforementioned dark ages?
In the 18th Century (around then) The Germans, God bless them, started something called textual criticism, they stripped down a lot of things in the Bible, including the resurrection of Jesus. It was concluded that Jesus did not rise from the dead and anyone who did believe that was basing their ides on faith not any evidence, however after World War 2 it was reopened, 'Did Jesus arise from the dead?' Now most theologians and some scholars believe Jesus did rise from the dead, purely by evidence and zero faith, it is the only logical thing to conclude.
That statement is rather bold. Dark ages? really?
