Incorrectomundo, gentlemen.
In the "Minimal Fact Approach" thread, I am arguing for the resurrection of Jesus on the basis of four facts which the overwhelming majority of ALL NT scholars (believers and skeptics alike) accept as highly probable. The fifth fact is accepted by a simple majority.
That's kinda the whole point. These are not facts with which you may take issue easily as they are most generally conceded as undisputed.
See ya there.
Popular opinion does not a fact make; that requires evidence.
And no one has slandered your church. Truth is not slander.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
