re: Scientist says he found definitive proof that God exists

I guess we all should just try and do what this guy did for ourselves. Because, as im sure all you Boys and girls already know that Contempt Prior to investigation is known as the Height of Ignorance. So I seek, and I hope that oneday I find my truth. Like this Famous Man did.


A Revered Harvard Law Professor

Simon Greenleaf was a chief founder of Harvard Law School and the author of the renowned legal work, A Treatise on the Law of Evidence. Greenleaf, a professed agnostic, believed for many years that Christianity was a silly myth. Widely considered one of the brightest minds to ever grace the legal profession, the Professor was never shy with his students about where he stood. He spoke openly and often in the classroom about how the resurrection of Jesus Christ was a made up fairy tale, a hoax that could only be believed by ignorant, unenlightened fools.

After being challenged by some of his students to investigate Christianity’s claims on the basis of history and evidence, Greenleaf set out to expose what he called “the resurrection myth.” As the world renowned expert on forming an open-and-shut case based on concrete evidence, he was perfectly positioned to deal a death blow to Christianity, should it prove to be a myth. But in the process of trying to dismantle and discredit the Christian witness, something changed for Greenleaf. He would go on to write a lengthy essay called An Examination of the Testimony of the Four Evangelists by the Rules of Evidence Administered in the Courts of Justice, in which he concluded that “It was impossible that the apostles could have persisted in affirming the truths they had narrated, had not Jesus Christ actually risen from the dead.”[2]

Having examined the evidence, the once agnostic, distinguished Harvard Professor of Legal evidence concluded, as Francis Schaeffer once also had, that there is only one reason to be a Christian: because it’s true. Simon Greenleaf, too, became a believer in Jesus.
