Many people say they believe because of the many eyewitnesses who said they saw Jesus walking after he was supposed to be dead! However, that testimony is only recorded in the bible, second hand, and years after the fact. Eyewitness testimony recorded on the spot would still be open to question two thousand years after the fact. Eyewitness testimony recorded decades later is hardly extraordinary evidence.

Jesus, The failed Hypothesis?
Quoting Victor Stenger from his interesting new book, God, The Failed Hypothesis:
Many people say they believe because of the many eyewitnesses who said they saw Jesus walking after he was supposed to be dead! However, that testimony is only recorded in the bible, second hand, and years after the fact. Eyewitness testimony recorded on the spot would still be open to question two thousand years after the fact. Eyewitness testimony recorded decades later is hardly extraordinary evidence.
