Paul and James as enemy/skeptic witnesses to the resurrection — more powerful than Pilate would be
Mike argues we already have the category of evidence (non-follower witnesses) that skeptics demand.
Paul was actively persecuting Christians and openly hated the name of Christ before his conversion based on a claimed bodily resurrection appearance. James, Jesus's brother, was a skeptic during Jesus's ministry. Both became central Christian witnesses. Mike argues Paul was a greater adversary of Christ than Pilate, making his conversion testimony more evidentially powerful. He cites a "careful reading of 1 Corinthians or related passages" for Paul's testimony of a bodily resurrection appearance.
