We will be seeking to determine whether the evidence for the resurrection moves us to the right or left of the mid-point (uncertain) of this range of opinions.

Why should we start at "uncertain"? If someone opens up by trying to prove that something magical happened, why shouldn't I default to "very doubtful"?

If I made any of the three following claims
  • I drove my car to work today.
  • I flew my helicopter to work today.
  • I flew my Pegasus to work today.
, would you think it's reasonable to start at "uncertain" for all three of them?
