After the Craig debate, Ehrman changed position and now denies the burial — Mike argues this is ad hoc motivated reasoning

Skeptics Respond To The Evidence For The Resurrection of Jesus 00:22:08 – 00:23:11

Mike's analysis of Ehrman's intellectual development post-debate

After being pressed on his prior position (where he granted the five facts), Ehrman began denying the burial of Jesus, now arguing the body was thrown into a common grave with no tomb. Mike argues this shift is ad hoc and motivated by the realization that granting all five facts pushes inevitably toward the resurrection. Mike notes Ehrman had previously told students not to adopt alternate theories because they would be torn apart by the evidence.
