Most trust the Moon landing happened without ever having been to the Moon. We believe it because the documentation is strong, the witnesses were credible, and the evidence has held up under intense scrutiny. That's how historical belief works.
So why don't we apply the same standard to what may be-if true-the most consequential claim in human history?
Nearly two thousand years ago, witnesses reported seeing a publicly executed man alive again. That claim was argued, documented, and died for. It split history in two.
The Eagle Has Risen holds the Resurrection up to the Moon landing as a mirror-not to convert, not to debunk, but to ask one honest question:
"Are we evaluating the Resurrection with the same openness and rigor we would bring to any other historical claim-or have we already decided the answer in advance?" Both are extraordinary claims. How extraordinary they seem depends on the kind of world we believe we inhabit. And that turns out to be the deeper question.
