@moonbus saidWell, as I said, three experts in evaluating evidence, two of whom were atheists, investigated the evidence for Jesus Christ’s Resurrection, became convinced the Resurrection happened and converted to Christianity.
Yes, I have read the list. There is not a scrap of evidence there. Just claims in need of evidence.
Everyone views and evaluates evidence differently.
You’re obviously entitled to your opinion and I have yet to find an open-minded atheist (at least when it comes to this subject) though I’m sure they exist.

@pb1022 saidWhat evidence? Were artifacts found in that tomb which could be unequivocally traced to Jesus (DNA testing or whatever)?

Even supposing there were good quality hard physical evidence which we can examine here and now, and not just someone's say-so 2,000 years ago, that the body of Jesus and no one else was in that tomb then -- a missing body is still not evidence of a resurrection. There are much more plausible explanations for the disappearance of a body than a miracle.
@moonbus saidHave a look at the Shroud of Turin. That’s pretty interesting.

And no it was not dated to centuries after Jesus Christ’s Resurrection.
A member of the original Shroud team confirmed on camera that the piece of the Shroud taken for carbon dating was taken from a reweave done after the Shroud was damaged in a fire.

I have no interest in wasting my time responding.
Believe what you want to believe and I’ll do the same.
-Removed-I'm not sure what you are looking for unless you say that only the interpreter gets to decide what was written, not the writer of the text. Even here and now, you want me to explain something, what is my meaning, so I assume you realize that as writers, we can have intent and meaning, and that is what I'm looking for; I don't want to read into it something that isn't there so I'm attempting to come at it from as many ways possible if there is a chance I could do that, miss the writter's point for one I want to insert for reasons not implied by the writer.
