There have been many world philosophies that have tried to explain the state of world and the nature of humankind. Many claim that God does not exist (or man has killed the need for religion) and some even go so far as to say evil does not exist. These philosophies also predict that humankind will progress and get better and in such a world, why does the Bible matter?

There is also the manner in which the resurrection occurred that follows the legal requirements of acceptable evidence (and especially eyewitness evidence) in a court.
