Than and I continue our detailed rebuttal to Brian Blais and Paulogia, who claim to be telling us what Bayes' Theorem says about the resurrection.One topic is a set of truly dreadful items of evidence against the resurrection via arguments from silence. Here is Timothy McGrew's published paper on arguments from silence:https://timothymcgrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/The-Argument-from-Silence-Acta-Analytica-Tim-2013.pdfHere again is Than's blog post where he says that he isn't right there defending the historical reportage model. (In the video he expresses understandable frustration that those we're responding to don't seem to notice that he said this.)https://www.inspiringphilosophy.com/blog/paulogiaits-time-to-stopThe other topic today is the habit of treating testimony as a specially disadvantaged form of evidence. If you're interested in the topic of Bayesian coherentism and its use of testimony as a model, check out my article "Why Bayesian Coherentism Isn't Coherentism":https://eujap.uniri.hr/casopis/content/volume_11/11_1_3.pdfAlso "Bayes Factors All the Way":https://lydiamcgrew.com/wp-content/uploads/BayesFactorsAlltheWayaccepted.pdfMy continued thanks to @TestifyApologetics for help with posting this series.
