Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach
RE: Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach
No number of textual accounts can ever be enough evidence on their own for an unprecedented event. I'm not picking on Jesus for once. Any unprecedented event.

I don't care if every single person alive back then wrote down that a man came back to life. It's not enough evidence. It needs to be extraordinary evidence, or else it is always more likely people are making it up, having mass delusions, spreading rumours or trying to fit in. Always.

What evidence would be extraordinary enough? Jesus coming back and doing it again. I'd be happy with that.

I don't have to say categorically it didn't happen. I would simply rather withhold belief than believe on insufficient evidence. And sadly I take it more seriously than most Christians seem to, and it doesn't even matter to me if it happened or not. Isn't that worrying?
