Paul's Summary of the Resurrection Appearances

Once I finished reading this entry, I was a bit hit by the 2nd and 3rd truths that Stott explains. They were "historical truths" and "physical truths." In our society today, the school system continues to teach about History and the different historical figures that lived before our time. If there are these truths exist, why aren't biblical events being taught in everyday classrooms? I don't understand why it's a taboo to talk about the historical events in the bible in public when they are clearly recorded events.

Secondly, the death and resurrection of Christ is a physical truth. Stott tells us that there is evidence that proves the events that took place in the bible. I think that this society is contradicting itself when they dismiss the death and resurrection. After all, the world is obsessed with proving everything and anything through physical evidence. If the evidence is so clear cut and there for everyone to see, why reject it?

I think that with these two truths alone, even an atheist can just come to believe. God has given documented history and physical evidence to help everyone understand easily. If things are laid so that everyone can see, why is it so hard for people to understand and accept? I wonder why I, myself as a Christian, have doubts if things are so easy to understand. Why has the world created a taboo on talking about these two truths if history and phyical truths are valued so much in society? It's supposed to be so easy.... but it's not. Maybe we're all just really thick headed...
