Mike's positive replacement for the slogan: evidence makes a claim believable when data is better explained by the hypothesis being true

Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence? Nah. 00:42:09 – 00:42:40

Mike offers a rigorous epistemological alternative to the slogan.

Mike's proposed replacement principle: "Evidence makes a claim believable when the data is better explained by the hypothesis being true than by its negation." He acknowledges it is not catchy but argues it is genuinely good thinking. Applied to the resurrection: it makes more sense that Jesus rose than that he did not, given the available evidence.
