Than and I continue to discuss objections to the resurrection case. Here we talk about the technical question of whether Tim and I overestimated the Bayes factor (a mathematical expression meant to represent the force of the evidence) in favor of the resurrection in our 2009 resurrection article in the Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology. That article, with a few updates, is available here:https://lydiamcgrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Resurrectionarticlesinglefile.pdfHere is my recent detailed blog post on these issues:https://lydiaswebpage.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-resurrection-independence-and.htmlThan and I decided to do this in response to this skeptical video which claims to tell you what Bayes's Theorem really says about the resurrection:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6QenX4Oo78Here is my playlist on Gospel development theories that Than mentions:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe1tMOs8ARn1q1sDUj2GF0W3VYvtfLTn-Here is where Brian Blais tries to argue that more testimony for a miracle is worse!https://bblais.github.io/posts/2022/Jun/14/sometimes-more-testimony-is-worse/Thanks to  @TestifyApologetics  for help with splitting up and uploading these videos.
