Education on the subject matter helps
i would suggest some college level courses on the historic method and historical research. There are universities offering some online. I could even help you pick some out.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Education on the subject matter helps
I’d suggest that you try it, but you’re obviously not ready for college. But carry on with this joke all you like, I’m still laughing.

Re: Education on the subject matter helps
Ok Mr. Historical research expert. Done with your disrespect. If I want to be treated like this and talk to someone this condescending I will talk to a creo. At least they admit they have no evidence.
Good day, Sir

Expert Testimony on Jesus and His Resurrection
“I say unequivocally that the evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is so overwhelming that it compels acceptance by proof which leaves absolutely no room for doubt.” – Sir Lionel Luckhoo, The Most Successful Attorney in History, according to the Guiness Book of Records
Simon Greenleaf – professor of law at Harvard in the 1800s
His three-volume work, A Treatise on the Law of Evidence, has been considered by The Supreme Court to be the greatest single authority on legal evidence.
He said, “If the evidence for the resurrection was set before any unbiased courtroom in the world it would be judged to be an historical fact - Jesus Christ rose from the dead.”
There remains, therefore, no supposition possible to explain the recorded phenomenon except the combination of the fructification and rupture of the heart. - Samuel Houghton, M.D., great physiologist from the University of Dublin
/
We are told on eyewitness authority that “blood and water” came out of the pierced side of Jesus. The eyewitness clearly attached great importance to this.
/
This is evidence of massive clotting of the blood in the main arteries, and is exceptionally strong medical proof of death. It is all the more impressive because the evangelist could not possibly have realized its significance to a pathologist. the “blood and water” from the spear-thrust is proof positive that Jesus was already dead. - Michael Green, M.D. [The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict, by Josh McDowell, pages 224-225]

Are you going to post this copypasta dreck on all the Jesus dude topics? That is poor form and probably a violation of forum rules.

Re: Expert Testimony on Jesus and His Resurrection
So on this post you claim Michael Green is an MD. Are you ignorant? Stupid? A liar? This is from Green's 1968 book "Man Alive". He was a Theologian with a Doctor of Divinity, so no real education and certainly nothing in medicine.

This has your Michael Green quote and footnote for the source.

Re: Expert Testimony on Jesus and His Resurrection
Christian apologists spout outrageous falsehoods. Hardly a surprise.
The evidence for the Resurrection is incredibly weak and no rational court should accept it.

Re: Expert Testimony on Jesus and His Resurrection
I think this must be his strategy: saturation bombing forums with his drivel and he occasionally makes a sale. They can add up, I think there's an Audible version as well. I looked it up on Amazon and probably contaminated my online footprint, but the religious nutters lose interest in me pretty fast...

Jesus Spam
He even sent me a private message. I swear I don't know this guy.
Private Message writes:
From ChemEngineer
To Phat
Dear Brother in Christ,

Please see my website Proof-There-Is-No-God.blogspot.com

I recently published a book you would certainly enjoy and reference.
BrilliantCreations-The-Wonder.blogspot.com
Dr. Orosz said it "is beyond incredible. Please send me twenty autographed copies."
You can read it on Amazon.com
Were I an administrator I would boot the guy for being a spammer. And I'm not clicking on any of his links.
AddByEdit: I think I found him. But then again, maybe not.
Jukebox Mind
Its the same guy, but he does not mention Jesus even once, so I know he is fake.
Maybe the whole persona is made up and the reason is only to spam.

Re: Expert Testimony on Jesus and His Resurrection
You present an interesting rabbit trail but that stuff doesn't help my faith much, though it adds to my rational database.
I suppose that you Peanut Gallarians want to encourage me to critically evaluate my faith, but it didn't do much for you.
Still, it makes for an interesting discussion between us.

Re: Expert Testimony on Jesus and His Resurrection
It’s no more of a rabbit trail than ChemEngineer’s post. Less so, since i provided links to actual essays rather than copy-pasting someone else’s blurbs which just repeats other people’s assertions.
