[Phys-L] Re: god friendly science



There is little doubt about the crucifixion of Jesus. So, the only
real question is did he rise from the dead? It seems unreasonable to
think that a small group of not very brave men would get so fired up
about Jesus if he didn't. And as the movement gained strength, it
made a lot of people very unhappy - unhappy enough to kill and
torture. Reason suggests that these people had something remarkable
to tell.

This seems to be most/all of your argument for believing in the
resurrection. By this standard, Joseph Smith is indeed also a prophet
as claimed, and since there is even more evidence of his existence
and deeds than for Jesus, complete with making a lot of people very
unhappy - unhappy enough to kill and torture, we should no doubt all
convert to Latter Day Saints. You still get the resurrection, with
the added bonus that Jesus visited America before heading up to
heaven.
