what's laughable to me is craig's attempt to establish, based on
probability theory, that jesus had 97% chance of being resurrected.
his analysis is HYSTERICAL and, i suppose, is what passes for
sophisticated analysis among a certain group of christians (like sean
pitman)
Looks more like parody to me.
Christians used to kill Christians over the issue of if Jesus was
"ressurrected." Other Christians used to kill other Christians
over the issue of what or who "ressurrected" Jesus: the war god
Yahweh or Jesus.
basically their agument seems to be that we can't know HOW god does
stuff, so, being god, he can do anything he wants. therefore the
probability is 100% and that proves god exists!
This is perfectly reasonable logic, for the Bronze Age.
how could we ever doubt!
and the relevance to TO?
-historical methods
-nature of miracles
-reasoning of certain groups of christians
-probability of miracles as defined by some christians (not that any
creationist on TO would EVER try and misapply probability to
creationism)
enjoy
