Three renowned scientists\u2014Papaia, Banani, Ravioli\u2014and their assistant Igor work at the NASAL observatory.
Ravioli accidentally bought a book, which turns out to be very interesting.
They are discussing Ravioli\u2019s book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Ah, I get it! The minimal facts must all be true at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Now I\u2019ll read them to you:
“First, Jesus died by crucifixion.
Second, His disciples were sincerely convinced they met Him after His death, resurrected, perfectly healed, and in the flesh.
Third, the disciples and the early church began preaching the divinity, death, and resurrection of Jesus immediately, creating an oral tradition that we can trace back to within two, at most five, years after the cross.
Fourth, Paul, a fierce persecutor of Christians, converts, claiming to have also met the risen Jesus.
Fifth, James, Jesus\u2019 brother, initially skeptical, converts after His death and begins preaching alongside the disciples.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: It sounds convincing, but maybe they didn\u2019t think through all the possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: If you think about it, it\u2019s really a puzzle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: You know what I think? I doubt it\u2019s true! I bet if we think about it for a bit, we\u2019ll find an explanation! It must be a clever trick to sell books!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: Did They have a clever trick? Like those scientists? When they decided to leave with all those useless suitcases?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
