Primary Datum
Mythic parallels may show literary atmosphere, but they only partially explain the specifically Jewish resurrection claim about Jesus.
Scoring / Hypothesis Pressure
| Hypothesis | log10BF | Min | Max | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
H-ALT-LEGEND | -0.03 | -0.04 | -0.02 | Jewish resurrection specificity modestly weakens mythic-parallel explanations where they rely on resemblance rather than explaining the full resurrection datum. |

Apologetic Note
- label
- Partial answer
- title
- A resemblance is not yet an origin story.
- key point
- Mythic parallels must explain the Jewish, bodily, eschatological resurrection claim, not merely point to ancient religious atmosphere.
- conversation move
- Grant that ancient literature contains parallels and echoes. Then ask whether the proposed parallels predict the specific resurrection package in the earliest Christian proclamation.
- caveat
- This does not prove Resurrection. It only limits one legend-style explanation.
Scripture Passage
1 Corinthians 15:3-28; Daniel 12:2; 2 Maccabees 7
Caveats / Notes
- Source note
- Pair with E-ALT-LEGEND-2. Keep mythic-parallel pressure visible while requiring it to explain Jewish resurrection specificity.
- Cap notes
- Paired answer to mythic-parallel / literary-mimesis pressure. It may only reduce H-ALT-LEGEND pressure and must not be counted as direct Resurrection proof.
- Scoring note
- Small capped pressure against H-ALT-LEGEND only. No direct H-RESURRECTION BF.
