Do you believe Abraham Lincoln was shot and killed? How do you know? Did you see it happen?

I've seen other things get shot and killed. so I accept that explanation since its non-contentious and I have no great reason to doubt it.

am I sure? no.

but I dont particularly care if my current explanation of Lincolns death is accurate. If someone presented a plausible contrary I'd be fine with it.

You, on the other hand, clearly have a horse in the race and a lot invested in believing in a particular explanation of something that happened 2000 years ago.

Id slow your roll.

youre not going to prove the resurrection scientifically.

And frankly I think you totally miss the point when you try.

If you can't know that Lincoln was shot and killed, you really can't know much of anything in history. It could all be a big lie, maybe for political reasons.

And why do you think proving something scientifically is the only real proof? Can you prove THAT by science? If not, then that claim itself is self-refuting and therefore false.

There is decent scientific proof relating to these matters anyway, but no point in going into that. I'm referring to the Shroud of Turin, which scientists have examined thoroughly, and they have not been able to scientifically debunk the miraculous claims about it.

What I said was that trying to prove it scientifically was missing the point bro.

but I'm sure the Shroud of Turin is very convincing when you are looking for confirmation of what you already believe.

"you can't know Lincoln was shot and killed but I am SURE my very implausible miracle from 2000yrs ago is verified fact"

are you listening to yourself?

I am sure of both historical events. Historical evidence makes both of them plausible.
