"That much can be said . But we can provide evidence for the existence of God in other ways that require us to use logic and reasoning . We might reason for instance , say that if Jesus ' body was still rotting in the tomb , then it is most likely that the authorities would have displayed it in order to crush the Christian faith ( for they had every motive to ) . And if they had produced the corpse , then it is almost certain that Christianity would have been destroyed ( for the early Christians believed in nothing less than the literal bodily resurrection ) . Given that the faith was not destroyed , it is implausible that His body was still in the tomb . Of course , there is a whole lot more to consider than this . Furthermore , a miraclous event ( such as Jesus ' resurrection ) is improbable on the assumption that the miracle did not occur - but is to be expected on the assumption that it did . That is , if there was no resurrection , the emergence of Christianity is highly improbable ; but if there was a resurrection , the emergence of Christianity is very likely . This is in the form `` if A happened , then it is most likely that B `` ."
"yes , on the grounds of `` mostly likely `` we can make reasonable assumptions . but we must still treat them as such . part of the catch of God 's existence is that no evidence of his existence cn ever be found . if Jesus actually physically performed observable miracles , even 2000 years ago , then it would surely proven that the supernatural can and does ( or did ) exist in reality . however , even jesus 's ministry contradicts the faith theory . how can God expect faith from those who have n't observed on the grounds of those who have ? if people can observe the manifested power of God in reality , then they have physical evidence that God exists . but this conflicts with the nature of God from a biblical standpoint . in other words , the bible can not claim that physical evidence for the existence of God can exist , and then that it can not exist , without contradicting itself . what we end up with is the predicament that ANY physical evidence that could possibly support God 's existence is evidence against God 's existence ( at least from a biblical standpoint )"
