A portion of the scripture below is deliberately revised. Watch for it.
● John 20:29 . . Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are the gullible who have not seen and yet have believed."
The Bible, as a document, cannot be accepted into evidence to prove that Jesus Christ's crucified dead body was restored to life. No, that would be like handing over the deed to the Trump Tower to a strange man merely on the basis of himself saying he bought it.
Carl Sagan once remarked "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." In other words, the scientific mind accepts neither hearsay, nor sophistry, nor circular reasoning; rather, insists upon empirical evidence.
The Bible claims, in so many words, that Jesus Christ's crucified dead body was restored to life. Okay; but unless we're shown something solid to corroborate the Bible's claim; then reason, logic, and common sense demands that the Bible's claim be thrown out of court as spurious nonsense; viz: a myth.
Faith is believin' what you know ain't so.
(Mark Twain)
NOTE: It's ironic that Jehovah's Witnesses and normal Christians bicker over the physical details of Jesus Christ's resurrection when neither can produce sufficient empirical evidence to substantiate their claims.
