mhmI won't argue for a specific God
But how can you disprove some of the more well documented reincarnation anecdotes ?
some? what other reincarnation anecdotes are there then Jesus Christ
the Jesus resurrection case is interesting though. 4 apostles agreed that Christ resurrected, and Paul even listed eyewitnesses, and then the Empty tomb stuff as well
its still not sufficient evidence though and i'll explain why
1) the number one issue is its just the bible, theres no independent non "biased" (it's hard to be non-biased 2000 years ago but still) source that confirms he did indeed rise from the dead. in contrast, Jesus's existence was proven through independent text, meaning there were non-Christians who confirmed Jesus was indeed a real person living during that time - that's basically undeniable in history atp
2) conflicting accounts between apostles. They disagreed with who went to the tomb, when they saw Jesus rise etc. I guess you can excuse this kinda for these reasons though
- crime analogy: when a crime happens and people are interrogated, even if they are telling the truth they will have a modified version of the story. in fact its suspicious if people have identical stories because then you know they practiced it
- translation error/loss of knowledge through time - self explanatory (but this doesn't look well for the bible because it means its not trustworthy)
3) theories. there's a ton of more believable theories to explain what happened during those few days. examples:
- body was stolen
- Jesus just lost consciousness and was resting and they put him a tomb accidently (which does actually happen btw)
- everyone was just hallucinating and in a delirious state
- it's just a made up myth
Note: ALL of these things have happened before in the real world, but we have virtually NO other evidence to suggest any other person has risen from the dead ever in all of human history (aside from blackout events on the operating table and a few minutes of heart stopping, this is different because he was genuinely dead for WAY WAY longer)
lowkey I wrote so much idk why I spent so much time on this ngl that was retarded
