Re: The apologists defense of the literalist faith
Well, this question begs so many questions.

First of all, and for most, it assumes there is a God to begin with.

Can you show there is a God , so show that God exists independently of what people made up about she/he/it?

The insuperable statistics of original polypeptide synthesis offer one of many compelling proofs of Nature's God, as He is called in our Declaration of Independence by the Founding Fathers, who had no doubt whatsoever of His existence.
The human body has over 20,000 different polypeptides (proteins and enzymes), the largest of which is titin, with ~38,148 alternating amino acid residues in a precise sequence. The first assembly of titin was required before any new humans could possibly "evolve."
Please do not try to shortcut the synthesis by claiming that parts here and there were joined together from previous sites because the same statistics apply to any "part" however small.
Computing 1/20 to the 38,138 times 1/2 to the 38,138 for peptide vs. non-peptide bonds, which are equally probable, times 1/2 to the 38,138 for the L vs. D amino acid gives an overall probability of 1 chance in about 10 to the 74,000.
Distinguished statistician, Emile Borel, defined "impossible" as 1 chance in 10 to the 50th. Richard Dawkins defines "impossible" as 1 chance in 10 to the 40th.
10 to the 50th marbles one cm in diameter would fill 924,800 billion billion spheres the size of earth. Pick one on your first and ONLY try, if you think you can.

Re: So What About Jesus?
From the many books I have read, I selected the most important citations I could find to share with others for the purpose of teaching.
It is a very hypocritical practice of evolutionists and atheists to angrily protest "quote-mining" by their adversaries. But they never hesitate to "quote-mine" the Holy Bible, do they?

“I say unequivocally that the evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is so overwhelming that it compels acceptance by proof which leaves absolutely no room for doubt.” – Sir Lionel Luckhoo, The Most Successful Attorney in History, according to the Guiness Book of Records
Simon Greenleaf – professor of law at Harvard in the 1800s
His three-volume work, A Treatise on the Law of Evidence, has been considered by The Supreme Court to be the greatest single authority on legal evidence.
He said, “If the evidence for the resurrection was set before any unbiased courtroom in the world it would be judged to be an historical fact - Jesus Christ rose from the dead.”
There remains, therefore, no supposition possible to explain the recorded phenomenon except the combination of the fructification and rupture of the heart. - Samuel Houghton, M.D., great physiologist from the University of Dublin
We are told on eyewitness authority that “blood and water” came out of the pierced side of Jesus. The eyewitness clearly attached great importance to this.
This is evidence of massive clotting of the blood in the main arteries, and is exceptionally strong medical proof of death. It is all the more impressive because the evangelist could not possibly have realized its significance to a pathologist. the “blood and water” from the spear-thrust is proof positive that Jesus was already dead. - Michael Green , The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict, pages 224-225
