Paulogia has said in his heart: "There is no God". From this point he reasons. Of course he will tend to think that it is "more likely " that the gospel is reports of reports of reports.

@Mark The problem with this is that you need to have correct assumptions fed into the theorem prover. Formal logic is not how logic works in real life.

@Matthew "I can't answer that question, because I started from believing Christianity (including Genesis 1-11) to be true" - So you didn't come to believe in Christianity as an evidentialist, did you? You came to believe in Christianity as a presuppositionalist. So your own conversion experience doesn't seem consistent with the evidentialist epistemology you seem to uphold as the ideal standard for everyone.

The best proof of the Christian God, specifically, is perhaps Christ. There is excellent evidence that He existed, that He was crucified, and that His body went missing in a way that's nearly impossible to explain from a purely naturalistic worldview. Christianity is the only religion with a resurrected founder. It's also the only religion in which you cannot earn your own salvation. I consider those two facts to be... not proof, but extremely compelling.

I should probably clarify; I'm an atheist whose stance is 'God might exist', but there is no reason to believe the Christian god exists. That's quite different from 'God does not exist'.
