Inference to the Best Explanation and Rejecting the Resurrection

Christian apologists, like Willian Lane Craig and Stephen T. Davis, argue that belief in Jesus’ resurrection is reasonable because it provides the best explanation of available evidence. In this article, I refute thesis. To do so, lay out how logic inference to (IBE) operates, including what good explanations must be by definition, then apply IBE issue at hand. Multiple explanations—including (what will call) The Resurrection Hypothesis, Lie Coma Imposter Legend Hypothesis—will considered. While not attempt rank them all from worst best, reveal why Hypothesis unquestionably explanation, undeniably worst. Consequently, only Davis’ conclusion mistaken, but literal Jesus irrational. presenting argument, take myself breaking new ground; Robert Cavin Carlos Colombetti have already presented a Bayesian refutation arguments. But an argument average person (and philosopher) can follow. It my goal for able clearly understand hypothesis “God supernaturally raised dead” fails utterly as evidence apologist cite resurrection.
