Where is your direct physical evidence that the resurrection is a fact?

There is none.

You can't have it both ways.

I'm not trying to. Reread what I wrote.

Either Jesus
1. took it literally and factually or
2. he was ignorant, or
3. he knew better and was playing to people's ignorance

or
4. He was using Parables to make a point, as He often did, and wasn't concerned with the specifics of natural history, because that wasn't the point He was trying to make.

People who are overconcerned with the literal specifics of ancient Scripture remind me more of the people that Jesus was angry with in the first place. I surely hope you don't literally hate your mother and father, as Jesus literally demanded in Luke 14:26, and see past the literal words to the deeper point He was conveying.

I don't think God is a liar either. He wouldn't place evidence that points to an 4.5 billion earth and the common descent of life on earth and expect us not to believe it.
