Episode 95 Ridiculous Reasons to Believe
In this short episode Matthew will be picking apart a video from Reasons to Believe that William Lane Craig posted on his twitter timeline in March 2023.
The sequence is titled, Did Jesus rise from the dead? Part 1, the facts. See link 1 for the full 6.5 minute video and the additional follow on videos. There is a very simple objection to any claim about Jesus rising from the dead, and that is, all claims start from the assumption that the gospel accounts are truthfully reporting events that actually happened. We don't know this, and we can't know this, which is why starting from this position and then using this unsupportable starting point to argue for the literal resurrection of Jesus is unreasonable.
