You just explained why I cannot be a believer. The claim is that something unfalsifiable in the present happened in the past. That thing is miraculous (meaning extraordinarily improbable).
But not impossible, correct? However unlikely, it is still possible?
Quote:Nothing in the present proves or disproves that the event happened. So, it's improbable and unproven. I don't believe it for just that reason. The fact that I could not prove it is the reason I don't believe it.
You don't believe anything you can't prove? Personally prove?
Quote:If you could and did prove it, I would believe it.
Least you think this is a no win situation, let me remind you you are claiming an omnipotent being. Surely Jesus could step in and prove his ability to rise from the dead over and over, should he exist and desire to do so. But like the charlatan claiming esp his followers demand a leap of faith and claim he won't demonstrate to this generation. Essentially, the god claim is just like other supernatural claims in this regard. The claim is that something non demonstrable exists. And my answer is possible, but highly, improbable. Too improbable to waste time on.
Ah. Possible.

What kind of proof could Jesus provide to you, Jenny, that would enable you and everyone else on earth to believe that He is God?
