Ringo also needs to consider average life expectancy in 1st century Judea.
and how old any such puported witnesses were at the time of alleged events.

No christian seems able to come up with an impartial reliable source detailing
how many actual verifiable witnesses there were of worthwhile repute.

Further; Romans were constantly very watchful of events in insurrection prone Judea
and they were meticulous record keepers...iF a man that had been killed by crucifixion
was then found/widely reported to be walking around the province for 40 days after
his death , surely it would arouse much interest and investigation by the Romans?

Do you have an independent verification of her claims that you can provide?


We well know what 'fanatical' grade CF christians claim to see and hear.
