here's Ehrman getting stomped on by evangelical Bill Craig on the resurrection.

You call that a stomping?
Dr. Craig was forceful but not convincing. And this is coming from a believer.

It's nice to see an internet debate that doesn't resort to name-calling.

I can speed read when necessary and then study what I skimmed.
It's the attempt to scientificate the "evidence" of the "Gospels" as historical evidence, and then the effort to turn it into a math equation of probability. One couldn't fabricate Joseph of Arimethea? Come on. He makes a load of assumptions perhaps invoking some tools of historians but what's so compelling about his argument? I get it, that he believes Christ resurrected but he didn't prove it or whup on Ehrman.

From a purely historical point of view, Ehrman's arguments make more sense even if one ultimately comes down on the side that the resurrection resulted.

I bet Ehrman doesn't know jack about probability theory.

It probably isn't an area of his expertise.
