::::::This is a ridiculous arguement.  The resurrection of Jesus is a matter of faith and can not be verified except by referring to the Bible.  Statistical analysis is a branch of mathematics.  The truths of mathematics are not subject to debate and are not matters of faith.  Appealing to authorities in mathematics is completely different than appealing to a religious authority.  [[User:MickA|MickA]] 17:52, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

(undent)We're not arguing whether the opinion of a majority of biblical scholars is a reliable indicator of whether Jesus rose from the dead or not. We're just arguing what that majority opinion is. It may seem irrelevant, but it is a crucially important to the issue at hand...ummm...somehow. [[User:KimEide|KimEide]] 18:02, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

: Christian theologians hold the equivalent of PhDs, and yet you reject the conclusion of those "experts".  I have found nothing in Lenski's published background to indicate any expertise by him in statistics.  Yet you accept Lenski's view on statistics without even thinking through the issues on your own, while rejecting the consensus of Christian experts.  Why?  The answer is obvious: bias and lack of open-mindedness.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 18:25, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
