I'm sorry, but the resurrection of Christ is tangible???
uh......first, if it were, there wouldn't be a faith issue.
Paul Tillich did say that if the bones of Jesus were found today, it would
not change his beliefs/faith.
but the resurrection, if it is/was real, of Yeshua is tangible?
I need to get a dictionary.

I already have, twice. I have faith because I have good reason for
it. In other words, take something tangible like the resurrection of
the Christ or the historicity of Scripture. I have good reason to
believe in Christianity because I have good reasons to believe in
those things.
I'm starting to think your standards are either impossibly high (you
said in 25 years you've never gotten an intelligible answer) or I
don't understand what you're looking for. By intelligible you mean
understandable, right?
