Can you give some examples of this "ample historical evidence"? I saw quite convincing video recently where a guy goes through all, known to him, sources and debunks them (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WI72JNz0IC8 - warning: might be offensive for a diehard believer).

The list starts with things that may well have considerable historical evidence, but ends by proposing an argument that would not even be logically valid: one could rationally hold that the material world is not all that exists, without accepting that Christ’s resurrection occurred.

As for calling materialism an a priori leap of faith, well, that hardly distinguishes it from the alternatives, though maybe that’s the point.

Nevertheless, a merry Christmas to one and all!

Yeah, just as an example religious Jews and Muslims do not subscribe to “material world is all that exists” but nevertheless does not belive in the ressurrection of Jesus.
