“The resurrection story is a myth.” That’s what the high school teacher told his class a few days before what used to be called "Easter vacation" but is now known as "Spring Break" began. One of his students countered, “Sir, I believe Jesus rose.” The teacher, with condescension, countered, “You can believe what you wish, but the resurrection is a scientific impossibility.” Then, the instructor went to the Science lab fridge and brought out a raw egg. He announced, “I am going to drop this egg, and gravity will pull it down, and it will break.” Looking at his student, he said, “I propose you pray that God will keep this egg from breaking when it hits the floor.” The student thought, folded his hands, bowed his head and prayed, “Dear Lord, I pray that when the teacher drops the egg, it will break into a hundred pieces and, when it does, the teacher will have a heart attack and die. Amen.” The class was in shock. They waited. Then, very slowly, the teacher carefully put the egg back into the fridge. “Class dismissed,” he said. The doubter wasn’t ready to risk his life on his doubt.
