[QUOTE="swizz-the-gamer"][QUOTE="notconspiracy"][QUOTE="CptJSparrow"][QUOTE="notconspiracy"][QUOTE="CptJSparrow"][QUOTE="swizz-the-gamer"]Tell me why divine intervention is the best explanation.He believes that because the other theories contradict information in the bible, the one that we do not know to be possible is the best explanation. Clearly it has become customary to return to ancient customs of resorting to and imagining fantastical conjectures to explain what one cannot fathom otherwise -- or as some call it the logic of "2 + 2 = unknown". sorry CptJsparrow, but you have severly misconstrued my argument. The reason divine intervention would be the most plausible explanation is that there is simply no natural catalyst for a dead corpse coming back from the dead. You misunderstood mine: the only reason you believe that someone can come back from the dead is because the Gospels say that someone divine did and you cannot fathom the naturalistic explanations to be true because of second-hand anecdotes of alleged witnesses. cptJsparrow we have multiple independent sources attesting to this event. second we have multiple independent witnesses to the resurrected Jesus like Paul or James or the twelve. we have the martyrdom of the aforementioned figures. The historical evidence strongly supports the resurrection.

You would apply this logic to any other situation, why not this?

perhaps because the other explanations that involve the supernatural aren't necessarily the best explanations?But a giant conspiracy is possible. Agreed?
it's possible. but it is not the best explanation It's one of the many logical explanations though. God is not a logical explanation for it.
