A challenge: Present a numbered and precise list of rules of debate to be applied to a debate (possibly H2H) that would allow a Theist to successfully defend the "resurrection" as a literal, truthful, accurate account of an event that happened in the real world.

Note: If citing "historical standards" specify exactly, verbatim what standards apply.

Non-Theist

ANY of the thousands of "gods" proposed, imagined, worshiped, loved, feared, and/or fought over by humans MAY exist -- awaiting verifiable evidence

1. Both sides agree that Matthew and John were written by the disciples they were named after, and so are eyewitness accounts of the death and resurrection of Jesus.

2. Both sides agree that the Upper Room in John, where he says Jesus first met the disciples after the resurrection is actually located on a mountain in Galilee where Matthew says Jesus first met the disciples after the resurrection.

3. Both sides agree that defining death as the "irreversible cessation of life" is not a firm definition.
