The Bible Gives Objective Verification

Quoted from this article, "The Christian Difference Is the Foundation of Our Christian Duty" in Cold Case Christianity:

QUOTE
Christianity is distinct in the nature of its claims and the value it places on reason, intelligence, and evidence. Some religious systems are based purely on the doctrinal, proverbial statements of their founders. The wisdom statements of Buddha, for example, lay the foundation for Buddhism. Hinduism is based on the revelations of the ancient sages as revealed in the Vedas and the Upanishads. Confucianism is established from the wisdom statements of Confucius. In all these examples, the statements of these religious leaders exist independently of any event in history. In other words, these systems rise or fall on the basis of ideas and concepts rather than on claims about a particular historical event.

Although Christianity makes its own ideological and philosophical claims, these proposals are intrinsically connected to a singular validating event: the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Why should anyone believe what Jesus said rather than what Buddha, the Hindu sages, or Confucius said? The authority of Jesus is grounded in more than the strength of an idea; it's established by the verifiability of an event. When Jesus rose from the dead, He established His authority as God, and His Resurrection provides us with an important Christian distinctive. The Resurrection can be examined for its reliability, and the evidential verifiability of Christianity separates it from every other religious system.

It is therefore not surprising that modern science came from the Europeans and not from the Muslims, the Indians or the Chinese. Objective verification is what science is all about and the Bible always insist on objective verification in key doctrines.

It is not enough to preach that Jesus died for our sins. Jesus bodily resurrected to prove to us that His death is special (1 Corinthians 15:3-8).

It is not enough to tell people not to worship idols. But God Himself descended on Mount Sinai to speak to the Israelite, so that when Moses asked the Israelite not to worship idols, he appealed to their objective observation, "You saw no form of any kind the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. (Deuteronomy 4:15)"

Muslims like to boast of the Koran as a miracle because their prophet is illiterate. But I see this as a double audit issue. The prophet cannot verify what his followers wrote and his followers cannot see angel Gabriel.

Buddha preached about 8-fold path to attain nirvana but did not provide objective proof of reincarnation.

"Therefore watch yourselves very carefully. Since you saw no form on the day that the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, beware lest you act corruptly by making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth. (Deuteronomy 4:15-18 ESV)
