Too late ... he can't ... others did it for him.

You know? those who were there?

Acts 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

We saw Him after during and before. He hung around many weeks after rising from the dead, you knew that?
Who is "we"? Were you there?

Denial beyond reason is a disease.

I'm not denying anything, just asking you to demonstrate that what you belief is true. So far you're a non-starter.

Even if you could somehow demonstrate that Christ rose you still haven't shown that you have correctly identified the word of an existing god AND that you have interpreted it correctly OR that your interpretation matches reality.

Well anecdotes are all very interesting but I'm after some actual evidence although the resurrection thing is a red herring anyway and can't really help Dad's inability to demonstrate the truth of his beliefs.

LOL ... better get on this, dad.

Looks like the Clipboard Cavalry is here to play scientist.

You got your work cut out for you on this one!

Put your faith aside and start walking by sight! ;)

We believers. We have been here since creation. We will be here forever and ever. Amen.

I believe you cannot prove a same state past in the time when most fossils were laid down, and mountains uplifted, and etc etc etc.

False. That does er.

You'll never get it this side of the Rapture, I promise you.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever pestered Pentecostals with your godless science?

They'll give you all the evidence you can handle.

Of course, I'm sure you'll deny it on principle; but they'll give you something to play with, I'm sure.

Those that had sight at the time saw the risen Christ. Those that have sight now see their nose and stuff. If the clipboard nerds have some science to show Peter or Jesus or Jerusalem or etc never existed.....well, they need to get cracking.

What exactly would the nature of this evidence be?

Since you are not qualified to judge the evidence, does it matter if you are convinced or not? No one is expecting you to cure cancer or find oil or do any kind of research, what does it matter what you believe? I was just interested if you could support it. You can't obviously but that's fine. I didn't think you could.

I agree.

All this evidence these guys demand was given to them in another dispensation, and look at them today -- still demanding some.

Jesus said it wouldn't matter to them, even if one rose from the dead.

Luke 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Correction. Science is not qualified. I am over qualified!

One doesn't show up over 2000 years after the fact and start demanding evidence from someone walking by! One looks to those that were there, and how they were accepted and believed, and even, in this case, set the year...2013!!

Like I said, pester them about it and find out for yourself.

Speaking in tongues, visions, dreams, etc.

I'm sure they'll give you more than you can handle.

I suggest they start thinking about hearing Moses and the Prophets! When the president (leader) of the world rises from the dead (supposedly) him they will believe!!!!

You do realize there's a special blessing for those who weren't around when evidence was doled out like candy, don't you?

John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Heh, so would a Voodoo ritual. I have no problem believing these people are having a real experience.

Well finding people to believe something is no big trick. Finding evidence for your particular beliefs seems to be a task beyond your ability.

Yup.

Revelation 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
