Introduction

The popular phrase, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" assumes all miracle claims have failed. If so, why waste time exploring the evidence for Jesus's resurrection? Nick Meader applies his background in statistics and psychology to explore Carl Sagan's catchy phrase. Should we assume that the laws of nature are all there is? Is Jesus's life, death, and resurrection consistent with expectations of the promised Messiah?
