Is Christ’s resurrection possibly tested by scientific method?

[edit]

In the book, page 10 -11, it said that "Dennett’s belief that no one need take seriously any claim that cannot be tested by scientific method is merely fatuous.". The author then argues:

  1. By that standard, I need not believe that the widower next door loves the children for whom he tirelessly provides
  2. Harris is quite correct to say, for instance, that Christ’s resurrection—like any other historical event—is known only by way of the testimony of others.

The above argument look to be not sound. The reason is that "the widower next door loves the children for whom he tirelessly provides" is possible from scientific viewpoint, however, that the Christ’s resurrection is not possible from scientific viewpoint. --Gluo88 (talk) 22:25, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
