April 2009: Bart D. Ehrman v Michael R. Licona: "Can Historians Prove Jesus Rose From The Dead" http://www.ses.edu/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_D._Ehrman
Bart D. Ehrman (born 1955) is an American New Testament scholar, currently the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Ehrman writes about the early Christians, using the term "proto-orthodox" to describe the Christian traditions that would later be defined as orthodox. He describes 1st- and 2nd-century Christians as not yet having a unified, orthodox tradition. He is the author of a number of books in this area, including Misquoting Jesus (2005), God's Problem (2008), and Jesus, Interrupted (2009).

In his books, he recounts his youthful enthusiasm as a born-again, fundamentalist Christian, certain that God had inspired the wording of the Bible and protected its texts from all error. His graduate studies, however, eventually convinced him that one ought to acknowledge the contradictions in the biblical manuscripts rather than attempt to harmonize or reconcile discrepancies. He remained a liberal Christian for fifteen years but later became an agnostic after struggling with the philosophical problems of evil and suffering.

[eg7737a]

Here are some serious questions to consider: Was Jesus the son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Was he raised from the dead by the Invisible Pink Unicorn? Was he half man, half god and half zombie? Was he really dead or did he just hold his breath for three days? Why was he single, with long hair, hanging out with 12 dudes, and going from town to town "touching" people? Historians should investigate these questions.

Is there another explanation of Jesus being raised from the dead a side from God, Erhman asks? Of course there is silly, silly doctor. Jesus was raised from the dead by aliens, yes, little green men from mars. Prove me wrong, I dare you.
