The fact that his body was not there after disovery of the tomb proves he was Lord"

Wow, you found an empty hole in the ground somewhere, so that must mean Jesus is alive! Hallelujah, brother, I'm saved! Can you bring back a jar full of the empty space so that I can touch it and see that Jesus really isn't there?
Then prove to me there is no other intelligent life in the universe.
Prove to me there is no unicorn on the moon.
Prove there are no invisible cows that never sleep.
When you do that, I will prove there is no God.
So, you've found Jesus' tomb? How did you know it was his? How do you know that the body was ever in it? How do you know the body wasn't taken out of the tomb by conventional means?
Yes, miracles are proven by the absence of something.
Like, it's a miracle changeup2010 can function ....
And of course there are no other reasons you can think of to explain the body not being there?
Oops, I was forgetting. Fundie. Thinking ain't in the job description, is it?
The tomb was 'discovered'?
I wasn't aware that the tomb had been lost.
Who found it, Indiana Jones?
> No matter how you look at things, empirically or otherwise, you can not prove he does not exist.
That said, you could say, for instance, that you have found no evidence for "god" at a 10-sigma (say) level...
There is no T Rex in my garden. That proves that T Rex existed! Yippee!!
As if there was ever any doubt. Anyway, what you believe the onus of proof should be changes nothing. You allege he exists, you prove it. I don't have to prove he doesn't exist, but will continue to believe so until one of your ilk achieves the incredible feat of proving me wrong.
I can't prove he doesn't exist... because you keep changing the definition of "God"! If I prove disease is caused by germs and not demons, you say "Well, God made the germs to punish us for our sins!"
Nope, the burden of proof is always on the one making a claim. Sorry, but if it weren't then we could say that unicorns, bigfoot, and Santa all exist.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
