The argument from ignorance.
It's true, we can't prove you wrong. But that does not in any way mean you are right. [emphasis added]
It's a logical fallacy; broken thinking. This is important for anyone who wants to be taken seriously. The choice is yours.
I have shown not only that Jesus existed but that these five minimal facts are supported FROM HISTORICAL SOURCES outside the Bible. I have also provided commentary from agnostic/atheist Bart Ehrman, a world-class NT scholar, regarding why the gospels are important sources of historical information that cannot be dismissed as such.
Now, don't worry about "proving me wrong". This isn't a contest of winners and losers, rob.
Instead, ask yourself: Does the fact that Christians can actually make a reasonably strong case for the resurrection of Jesus suggest that I should investigate their claims more favorably?
