I continue illustrating the fact that skeptics develop theories that they claim explain the evidence just as well as the resurrection, even though this can be easily seen to be untrue. They then run the priors, claiming that these explanations have a much higher prior probability than the resurrection, so it's a win-win for the skeptical side--equal or nearly equal explanatory power and higher prior.
Here I'll discuss the oddity that in Gregor's theory, the disciples already believe that Jesus has already risen and ascended with *zero* experiences of any kind. Moreover, Gregor has to ignore (even when he briefly admits) major differences between the Old Testament stories he cites and what he thinks the disciples believed happened to Jesus, on the basis of those stories.
Here is the discussion between Kamil Gregor and Derek of Mythvision that I will be referring to in the next few videos:
