Primary Datum
Datum: failed-expectation repair must explain why the early Christian reinterpretation became bodily resurrection proclamation rather than thinner vindication language.
Scoring / Hypothesis Pressure
| Hypothesis | log10BF | Min | Max | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
H-ALT-COGNITIVE-DISSONANCE | -0.03 | -0.05 | -0.005 | The bodily, public, witness-shaped resurrection proclamation modestly pressures cognitive-dissonance-only explanations, while leaving failed-expectation repair and mixed models live. |

Apologetic Note
- label
- Partial answer
- title
- Repairing failure is not the same as explaining this repair.
- key point
- Failed-expectation repair is real, but the earliest Christian claim took a specific bodily, public, witness-shaped form.
- conversation move
- Grant dissonance. Then ask why repair moved toward resurrection from the dead rather than only symbolic vindication or continued mission.
- caveat
- This is not direct Resurrection proof. It is a bounded answer to one rival explanation.
Scripture Passage
1 Corinthians 15:3-8; 1 Corinthians 15:12-28
Caveats / Notes
- Source note
- Pair with E-ALT-COGNITIVE-DISSONANCE-REINTERPRETATION. Keep cognitive-dissonance mechanism visible and test it against the shape of the earliest claim.
- Cap notes
- Paired answer to cognitive-dissonance pressure. It may contribute only bounded alternative-collapse support and must not be routed as direct Resurrection evidence.
- Scoring note
- Small capped pressure against H-ALT-COGNITIVE-DISSONANCE only. No direct H-RESURRECTION BF.
