That is quite true of all historical events. The evidence for the occurrence
of a historical event is quite different from the evidence, say, in
experimental sciences. That is why one invokes the notion of faith rather than
proof. In the case of the resurrection of Christ, we have to take all the
historical evidence and make a personal decision.
