Primary Datum
Paul's contact with Cephas, James, and the Jerusalem pillars modestly pressures late-legend and conspiracy readings by showing named witness-network contact.
Scoring / Hypothesis Pressure
| Hypothesis | log10BF | Min | Max | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
H-ALT-CONSPIRACY | -0.02 | -0.03 | -0.01 | A cross-checked leadership network is slightly less expected if the proclamation is best explained as coordinated invention. |
H-ALT-LEGEND | -0.03 | -0.04 | -0.02 | Early contact with named Jerusalem pillars modestly pressures a late or uncontrolled legend-development account. |
H-RESURRECTION | 0.02 | 0.01 | 0.03 | Paul's named contact with Jerusalem leaders modestly supports a public witness network around the resurrection proclamation, but it is not direct proof of the event. |

Apologetic Note
- label
- Apologetic leverage
- title
- Paul was not preaching in a sealed room.
- key point
- Galatians puts Paul in contact with named Jerusalem leaders rather than with a detached private myth.
- conversation move
- Grant Paul's polemical purpose and independence language. Then ask whether late legend or lone invention comfortably predicts named contact with Cephas, James, and recognized pillars.
- caveat
- This is not direct resurrection proof. It is modest witness-structure pressure.
Scripture Passage
Galatians 1:18-19; Galatians 2:1-10
Caveats / Notes
- Source note
- Read beside EV-ERC-1COR15 and witness-structure context rows. Keep Galatians' polemical genre and Paul's independence claims in view.
- Cap notes
- Capped witness-structure support. Do not stack naively with the 1 Corinthians 15 creed, Cephas/James witness material, or other apostolic-contact rows.
- Scoring note
- Small capped witness-structure pressure only. Not direct Resurrection proof.
