Scoring / Hypothesis Pressure
| Hypothesis | log10BF | Min | Max | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
H-BUDDHISM | -0.03 | -0.09 | 0.02 | Non-theistic frame renders E largely orthogonal; slight negative for non-prediction. |
H-HINDUISM | -0.03 | -0.09 | 0.02 | Jesus is not central to doctrine; Islamic prophet-only Christology is not predicted. |
H-ISLAM | 0.1 | 0.04 | 0.18 | A prophet-only, anti-divinity, anti-crucifixion Christology precisely matches Islam’s self-presentation and is therefore modestly more expected. |
H-JUDAISM | -0.02 | -0.08 | 0.04 | Partial resonance on strict monotheism and non-divinity of Jesus, but no specific prediction of an Islamic scripture with this profile. |

Counter-Pressure
- title
- Islam presses Christians to explain Jesus and the one God clearly.
- text
- Islam — Qur’anic Christology (ʿĪsā as prophet, not divine; crucifixion denied): Islam has serious force because it cares about worshiping one God, reverencing revelation, and resisting idolatry. The Christian answer must show that Trinity is not three gods and that incarnation is not God becoming less than God.
- path
- Begin with shared reverence for the one God. Then ask the central public questions: Who is Jesus? Was He crucified? Did God raise Him? Why did the earliest Christians worship Him inside a Jewish monotheistic world? Do not mock Islam. Keep the conversation honest, historical, and theological.

Caveats / Notes
- Cap notes
- This row preserves rival-worldview pressure for fair comparison. Future cap diagnostics may govern overlap with sibling rival rows, but should not hide the challenge.
- Cap profile note
- Rival and defeater pressure is capped within its own family and kept visible.
- Cluster note
- Strict-monotheism cap: supports Judaism/Islam or prophet-only readings only modestly, and is capped against overlapping Scripture/Text monotheism and non-fulfillment rows.
