Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach

[abaris]

1. Jesus died by crucifixion
2. Jesus' disciples believed that He rose and appeared to them
3. Saul, the persecutor of the Church, was suddenly changed
4. James, the skeptical brother of Jesus, was suddenly changed
5. Jesus' tomb was found to be empty

1) Unsupported claim. Maybe, maybe not. Not a fact.
2) Claim. What we do know is, his later followers believed that it's true. We don't even know if the disciples existed. Not a fact.
3) Or was he? Again claim. Not a fact.
4) Since the historicity of Jesus is up for debate, his brother's existence falls even more into the same category. So, claim. Not a fact.
5) Assuming he existed, assuming he even had a tomb, given the historical reality of criminals being left to rot on the cross. So, claim. Not a fact.

Quoting myself here, since our genius isn't even able to read his own thread properly. Posted on june 25th and ultimately what I have to say about his "facts".
