RE: "evidence for historicity!”
LNA responding to Percy writes:
​
How can you justify the Gospels endless stories involving supernatural "demons" with any sort of historical or scientific consensus with regards to the existence of (for example) ghosts?
Ghosts are rejected because all 30,000 scientific tests have resulted in results consistent with a more materialistic interpretation of the evidence.
Add to that the criticism that God (if God existed) seemingly purposefully leaves no evidence, and that so many humans have "fallen" for this belief paradigm and we have a real mystery on our hands!

Why can you explain a scientific consensus, which supports a materialistic interpretation, of evidence studied, when you complain of theological bias influencing the conclusions? Why does the historian not show a spiritual bias?
Are you suggesting that Historians as a rule show a materialistic bias? Is such a possible bias more in line with evidence based thinking?
