Anonymous Christian Gets EVISCERATED Defending Resurrection |Matt Dillahunty + Jimmy Snow

An anonymous Christian caller phones into The Line hoping to make a case for the resurrection of Jesus using the gospels. He argues that Jesus' followers thought they saw him risen from the dead after his crucifixion, and since group hallucinations are supposedly impossible, it must have really occurred. Host Matt Dillahunty points out the gospels providing this claim are anonymously written and unverified, questioning their reliability as evidence. Even if they were eyewitness accounts, Matt argues that four people claiming a resurrection does not conclusively prove it happened. When pressed for evidence, the caller cites the martyrdom of early Christians as lending credibility to their supernatural claims. But Matt rebuts that martyrdom only demonstrates the strength of a belief, not the truth of that belief. Unable to provide substantiated eyewitness testimony or empirical evidence for Jesus' resurrection, the caller contradicts himself on whether the gospels actually have direct eyewitness testimony. After accusing Matt of special pleading fallacy in assessing the evidence, the increasingly confused caller admits under pressure that he cannot demonstrate this fallacy and retracts the accusation. Overall, the anonymous Christian caller struggles unsuccessfully to prove the resurrection of Jesus happened, relying on contradictory claims and weak arguments that crumble under scrutiny from Matt.
