Christianity does not ask history to go silent at the crucial moment. This row asks what that trace is worth when read beside the other resurrection evidence.</p>\n  <div class=\"plain-english-door__grid\">\n  <div class=\"plain-english-door__panel\">\n    <h4>Why it matters</h4>\n    <p>Resurrection faith entered the world with traces: names, places, testimony, practice, memory, and cost.</p>\n  </div>\n  <div class=\"plain-english-door__panel\">\n    <h4>What this does not mean</h4>\n    <p>This does not make the resurrection automatic or mechanically forced.</p>\n  </div>\n  <div class=\"plain-english-door__panel\">\n    <h4>How it pressures the map</h4>\n    <p>The burden sharpens where a rival account explains one detail but not the whole resurrection pattern.</p>\n  </div>\n  <div class=\"plain-english-door__panel\">\n    <h4>Go deeper</h4>\n    <p>The article below keeps the evidence concrete and the conclusion properly bounded.</p>\n  </div>\n  </div>\n</section>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Observation</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<p><strong>The map pauses over Sabbath to Sunday Worship Shift because movements, memories, enemies, dates, and public practices all leave different kinds of tracks.</strong> The row is trying to focus attention on one claim: Early Sunday worship is evidence of downstream community reorientation around Jesus and the remembered resurrection day. Read it with historical patience: testimony, chronology, public memory, and rival explanations all matter here. In the scoring table, its main conversation partners are Jesus’ Identity (Pre-Res) (H-CHRIST-IDENTITY), Christ as Logos (Final) (H-CHRIST-AS-LOGOS), Alt: Legend (H-ALT-LEGEND); that is a map of relevance, not a declaration that the item settles those hypotheses by itself.</p>\n<p>The basic idea is simple: Early Sunday worship is evidence of downstream community reorientation around Jesus and the remembered resurrection day. That is the thing to notice before the technical labels and numbers arrive.</p>\n<p>Historical reasoning is humble work. We do not get a video recording of the past; we get traces: memories, letters, practices, names, places, enemies, costs, and claims that survived. The question is whether those traces look more at home in one story than in its rivals.</p>\n<p>A creed is a compact saying made to be remembered and handed on; its importance is often that it is early, public, and repeatable. Resurrection evidence is connected evidence: creed, burial, witnesses, worship, and alternatives should not be stacked as if they were all strangers to one another.</p>\n<p>In the scoring table, this item mainly talks to Jesus’ Identity (Pre-Res) (H-CHRIST-IDENTITY), Christ as Logos (Final) (H-CHRIST-AS-LOGOS), and Alt: Legend (H-ALT-LEGEND). That does not mean the item proves those views true or false; it means the clue leans, however slightly or strongly, in those directions within the model.</p>\n\n<p>Early Sunday worship is evidence of downstream community reorientation around Jesus and the remembered resurrection day. It modestly supports early Christ-identity / worship-practice claims, but it is not direct proof of the resurrection event and must be capped against creed and proclamation evidence.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Background / Context</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<p>Read this as <strong>resurrection-adjacent evidence under the approved cluster cap</strong>. Its category path is <strong>History</strong> / <strong>Early Christian Practice</strong> / <strong>Worship Practice</strong>, which helps set expectations for what kind of question this row can answer.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Relevance to the Worldview Contest</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<p>This matters because explanations have habits. Some worlds make this clue feel ordinary; others have to work harder to account for it. The Signal tracks that difference without pretending that one row can settle the whole journey.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Competing Explanations</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>H-CHRIST-IDENTITY (Jesus’ Identity (Pre-Res)):</strong> A costly early reorientation of worship around the first day modestly supports high valuation of Jesus and resurrection-shaped communal identity, while remaining downstream of proclamation evidence.</li>\n<li><strong>H-CHRIST-AS-LOGOS (Christ as Logos (Final)):</strong> Regular worship-practice reorientation gives small support to early divine-identity-shaped devotion, capped against early Christology and creed rows.</li>\n<li><strong>H-ALT-LEGEND (Alt: Legend):</strong> Early practice change is somewhat less expected under a purely slow-legend model, but the row should not repeat creed or resurrection penalties.</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Bayesian Meaning</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<p>The current numerical weight is intentionally bounded: <strong>H-CHRIST-IDENTITY: +0.08 log10BF; H-CHRIST-AS-LOGOS: +0.04 log10BF; H-ALT-LEGEND: -0.04 log10BF</strong>. In ordinary language, this row changes the angle of the map; it does not carry the whole argument on its back.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Caveats</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<ul>\n<li>Downstream worship/practice row. No direct H-RESURRECTION score; capped against creed, early Christology, and oral-tradition rows.</li>\n<li>This item must stay inside the resurrection cluster cap. Creed, burial, empty tomb, women witnesses, martyrdom, Sunday practice, and oral tradition are related clues, not fully independent proofs.</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Citations / Primary Sources</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<p>Use the citation list attached to this evidence item for source audit.
