Belief in Christ is evidence based

[Andrew66]

Evidence includes historic evidence.

If Jesus truly died and then resurrected from the dead then a miracle occured, and this supports the teachings of the Christian faith.

Both Atheist and Theist scholars of history attest

1) Jesus died on the cross
2) Jesus was buried in a tomb
3) Tomb was found empty by Jesus's women followers
4) Jesus was seen living, after his death, by a plurality of people.
5) Many of the plurality thereafter continued Jesus ministry proclaiming his resurrection - even to the point they were persecuted and killed for their beliefs / teachings.

Evidence based conclusion - a miracle occurred - Jesus arose from his death on the cross.

Ironically - atheist scholars to not come to this conclusion (i.e. they do not follow the evidence) - why? because they have faith that miracles do not occur!, so despite the evidence of support, at least one of posit 1,2,3,4 must be in error.

Atheisism is therefore based on faith. Christianity by evidence!!!
