Show me a single cell organism evolving into my next door neighbor and you have a deal. (I’m not even hostile to the theory of evolution — but it does meet your definition of an extraordinary claim).
And besides — anyone who saw a resurrected Christ is going to believe, so they’d never meet your definition of an unbiased observer.
Just an observation. I’m not trying to justify my point of view of a risen Christ to you. :)
Who said anything about evolution?! I never claimed to be an adherent of Darwin. Why are you introducing this issue into the discussion?
But in any event, a single-celled organism evolving into your next-door neighbor would, in fact, be a very good falsification of Darwinism! It would disprove it, as any reputable Biologist would agree! (For your information: What you have committed here is called the "Strawman Fallacy.")
And besides, believers in the Theory of Evolution admit that it is a theory (albeit a very solid one).
Lastly, no proponents of Darwinism are going to assert that you will be consigned for all eternity to Hell for not believing in the Theory of Evolution, so actually, their burden of proof is not so great as yours.
I’m not even hostile to the theory of evolution — but it does meet your definition of an extraordinary claim
No, I'm pretty sure that any disinterested third-party would agree that the particulars of Christ's life, as reported (in varying and in-part contradictory versions) in the New Testament are pretty outrageous, as well as in part non-sensical or just plain absurd ("Jesus curses a fig tree?") whereas the Theory of Evolution requires the acceptance of absolutely no premises, assertions, or argumentation not wholly in keeping with standard scientific method.
