He said probably one of the most attested to facts from ancient history is the crucifixion of Jesus. Of course, he doesn't believe in the resurrection, but there's virtually no scholars out there who say Jesus never rose from the dead, or I should say never existed, which is why when Bill tried to say that, it's,
No, because Paul makes it very clear that he's talking about a resurrected body, a body that comes out of the tomb. It would have been easy to say Jesus resurrected spiritually. Then you wouldn't have to, you know, he could, his body could still be in the tomb and you can still say, oh, He resurrected spiritually. But that wasn't the case.

Jesus' tomb was empty, and it would have been easy to squash Christianity if it wasn't empty because both the Romans and the Jews who didn't want Christianity to succeed would have gone to the right tomb and taken out his body. They didn't do it because... His body wasn't in there, so no.

This was a physical resurrection, and that's what made it so crazy to the Greeks because they didn't think anyone would want to have their body raised. They wanted to be liberated from the body. So when Paul is talking on Mars Hill as recorded in Acts 17, and he's bringing up a physical resurrection, these guys over there are incredulous. They're going, we don't want that.

We want to be liberated from the body. No, this was a physical resurrection. resurrection. Christianity only makes sense if that's the case.

Yeah, absolutely. CrossExamine.org. We go to college campuses as well, Charlie. We're nearly always talking about why I don't have enough faith to be an atheist. We're giving evidence that Christianity is true. Then we take questions. We have a YouTube channel, CrossExamine, two words, at YouTube. And we also have a podcast called I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist.

So we're going to college campuses, high schools, churches, presenting the evidence that Christianity is true and taking a lot of questions. We have over 2,500 videos on our YouTube channel worldwide. Most of them are Q&A videos from the college campus.

Truth to what you said, not what he said. In fact, it's all over the New Testament. And as you mentioned, even the Old Testament. I mean, the Holy Spirit comes upon the believers at Pentecost, which as one of the most accurate. I mean, I think all the books are accurate, but the one of the most verifiable books in the New Testament is the book of Acts, Charlie.

And in our book, I don't have enough faith to be an atheist. Yeah, you did, because both Luke and Acts are written by Luke, and Luke is an historian of first rank. That was even admitted by an archaeologist by the name of Sir William Ramsey, who initially was skeptical of Luke 100 years ago. Then he spent 20 years studying Luke, and he said Luke is an historian of first rank.

And if you go through the book of Acts— There are 84 historically eyewitness confirmable details that only an eyewitness or somebody that knew an eyewitness would know. Just in the book of Acts, Charlie, we list them all, and I don't have enough faith to be an atheist. So the Holy Spirit is all over the documents.

And as you pointed out in your rebuttal video, response video that you released earlier today, or maybe it was yesterday, with Bill Maher, even the... I mean, the date of the documents is important, but what's more important are the sources for the documents, Charlie.
