Debate Review! Mike Winger vs Matt Dillahunty on the Resurrection
About this episode
At the end of a long day when I was abnormally busy, and cutting back on my coffee intake, I did a 2 hour debate review video. Haha. I may be a bit tired but I think the content here is valuable and I'm looking forward to getting some feedback on it.
Here are the timestamps (though I strongly recommend you watch this whole video)

8:55 "Claims not evidence"
17:43 How history actually works
21:01 How a cumulative case works
25:48 Matt vs history and historians
57:20 Double standards which avoid the evidence
1:13:59 Elvis sightings and testing miracle claims
1:25:26 Summary of historical problems in Matt's criticism of the case for the resurrection.

Matt implied that we didn't really know what the New Testament originally said. Here's 3 videos about textual critcism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WclIZwBFhq0&list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuzJhPtmrgqpVoXhjvqiIjW
How "inference the best explanation" (my method for concluding that Jesus rose from the dead and God did it) is solid epistemology https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/abduction/
Great video from Acts17Apologetics called "Scooby Doo and the Silly Skeptic", which helps explain the problem of special pleading https://youtu.be/YrGVeB_SPJg
Lastly, for those who want more info on why "inherent improbability" of a miracle is not a good reason to reject one outright check out these two podcast episodes from Capturing Christianity. Calum Miller walks through the problems this philosophical position which is called "frequentism". https://capturingchristianity.com/tag/calum-miller/
