So What If They Believed It?

Just Jim and Monkeyboy sit down to take apart one of the oldest arguments in the resurrection debate: eyewitness testimony. The question isn’t whether first-century witnesses believed what they saw. The question is whether belief, on its own, counts for anything.We live in an era of HD cameras, digital forensics, and instant fact-checking, and people still get fooled daily. So what exactly are we supposed to make of testimony from people who had none of that? Sincerity isn’t a substitute for reliability, and conviction isn’t the same as evidence.If the best defense of the resurrection is “but they really believed it,” that defense has a problem.End of a Species is moving: https://endofaspecies.com/supportSupport Just Jim:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@__just_jim__Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/__just_jim__YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@just_jimSupport Monkeyboy:Discord: https://discord.gg/9FTcBaRC2TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@darth_mbYouTube: https://youtube.com/@darth_mbJeff:https://www.instagram.com/zeusnjeffhttps://bsky.app/profile/zeusnjeff.bsky.socialYou can send feedback to End of a Species by emailing [email protected]
