Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach

In other words, Jenny's hypothetical experience may indeed be valid, but unless she can produce actual evidence of it, evidence that can't be more easily explained by something else (Occam's Razor is a bitch, innit?), her claims of the divine are meaningless.

BINGO!

Though they might mean Jenny needs a checkup.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
