There were a number of people who are reported to have seen him alive, then dead, then alive. You, it seems, reject their testimony but yet accept the testimony of those who say George Washington existed. I am not being critical of you. I accept it based on the testimony of creation. The claim that God exists, on the other hand, does not have any evidence to support it.
Faith is faith.
I accept it based on the testimony of others. But the claim that Peking exists is a testable claim. Again, here, there is no reason to rely on faith - never mind the fact that the claim is relatively inconsequential. Or have you merely accepted it. If you say yes then I maintain that your threshold for faith is just higher than mune but it is still faith.
