Normally, I'd agree with you. But we're talking about an incredible claim involving a long dead person returning from the dead.
Quote:Up until a few days ago there was no evidence that a life form from our planet could survive by using arsenic in its DNA but, that was discovered.
If two weeks ago someone had made the claim that a life form on Earth could survive by using arsenic in its DNA I would have been skeptical, but I wouldn't have said that it couldn't possibly be true. This is because the claim does not involve supernatural woo-woo.
Quote:You certainly have enough to disbelieve the claim but, to hold a gnostic position simply on a lack of evidence is frankly bad science.
There is no "science" involved in the claim that a man dead for 2,000 years is going to return.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
