Street Epistemology question about ranking faith in pin-falling vs. resurrection — Mike argues it is designed to produce doubt, not seek truth

Why We Can't Agree on What Faith Is and What We Can Learn From It. 00:32:45 – 00:34:47

Q&A: Doug (Street Epistemology type) asks if faith in pin falling and faith in resurrection can be ranked

A skeptic named Doug asked whether one can rank their level of faith — e.g., do you have more faith that a pin will fall than that Jesus rose? Mike distinguishes: the pin falling involves a future prediction based on repeatable natural law; the resurrection is a fixed past event either happened or didn't. He also identifies the question as a Street Epistemology tactic designed to generate psychological doubt rather than seek a real answer, noting Doug has publicly stated he wants to create doubt using irrational methods.
