Resurrection debate available
I just finished watching this debate on whether Jesus rose from the dead. I'm putting it out there for anyone really interested in the subject, but it's far from the best stuff out there - Flew is mainly an expert on Humean arguments against miracles, and only got a few minutes to talk about those. He lets Habermas get away with several sophistries and one major, outright falsehood - that legends about Alexander the Great didn't arise until centuries after his death. I ended up kind of forcing myself at the end to watch it. If anyone else is willing to spend the time, tell me what you think.

Why would anyone debate such a pointless topic ? We might as well debate where the Tooth Fairy gets her money.
Because a particularly slick group of cranks is proclaiming proof that the Tooth Fairy exists, and the arguments look impressive if you don't have the relevant backgrouund.
Then why not simply debate the existence of "Jesus" ?
Yes hallq francois tremblay has a point why not debate the existence of Jesus right here on this site? What have you got to lose the truth can't be gainsayed and if you have the truth you have nothing to lose and if you don't have the truth you will get enlightened. Either way you win.
