Parallel accounts of ascension or resurrection in other ancient figures would not lower Mike's confidence in Jesus's resurrection because of the evidential asymmetry

Skeptics Respond To The Evidence For The Resurrection of Jesus 00:52:56 – 00:53:26

Q&A — Cam Spears's question about whether pre-Christian resurrection/ascension stories would lower confidence

Mike argues that parallel miracle claims from other ancient figures (death and resurrection motifs) would not diminish the case for Jesus's resurrection because those claims lack the same evidential support: no five historically agreed-on facts, no prophetic forerunner, no personal transformation, no rise of Christianity to explain. Evidence matters, not just the category of claim.
