Do you have any verification that the 'Resurrection' of Christ actually occurred, other than Christian literature?
Christian literature. That makes it not bunk.
We should present all views, not only the ones that seem most rational to us. To call the Resurrection "bunk" is completely POV and unacceptable. It doesn't conform to our knowledge of science, but that should not say that Wikipedia should present an opinion on whether or not it happened.
SPOV should be in NPOV, but it isn't NPOV in itself.
Well, obviously Christian literature would say that Christ was resurrected. I accepted that, and I asked for other verification.
Consider this scenario:
The world was considered flat in ancient times. That conformed to contemporary rational thinking (basically, the world is flat since we can't see it curve). It was also wrong. Is Wikipedia presenting a point of view by stating this theory is wrong?
