You would have to buy into the many doubtful premises: 1.) that bodily resurrections are incompatible with both atheism and non-Christian theism. 2.) That deities resurrect people in order to communicate with humans. 3.) That deities have any desire in communicating with humans. 4) That deities are human like to any strong degree.(July 16, 2015 at 1:18 pm)whateverist Wrote: What would it mean? Not much. It would more likely indicate that your hypothetical evidence that it really happened is suspect.It would at least mean that it's possible to resurrect outside of scientifically verifiable scenarios. And probably that Christianity is true. The foundation of Christianity is that Jesus rose from the dead. If he did, then the case looks promising.
