So we have two witnesses who didn't know each other and who saw
Jesus and agree on what he looks like. We also have Exhibit A,
the portrait of Jesus. Interestingly, in an interview, the boy
(Colton) said he wouldn't become a minister because there are
a lot of denominations that all teach different things.

I don't see anything here that even remotely rises to the level of
objective, or even reasonable evidence for the existence of a god.

Apparently, you weren't paying much attention to what I wrote at the
beginning:

"In between the extremes are those who accept personal experiences which
cannot be transferred to others except anecdotally. Here are two cases
where two witnesses testify of Jesus."

I read that. I don't see how it tells us anything useful, however. We
live in a society steeped in Christianity- it's a societal meme that
even very young children are aware of. People testify to alien
abductions, as well. Or they reveal- even as children- that their
reported NDEs were fake. None of this provides evidence for a god that
rises above the noise.

Of course personal experiences aren't "objective, scientific evidence."

Indeed, they are not.

A girl can paint? A boy thinks he went to heaven? Two people have a
similar idea what Jesus looked like?

A few anecdotal tales are not going to convince anybody.

You are dead wrong there because these events have convinced millions.

Yes, that's true. There are many people who are unable to use reason
to come to conclusions about the nature of reality. It's why I fight
against faith, the single greatest threat our species faces.

Come on. You said you had real evidence. Something new. Let's have it.

You've had it, in more ways than one, I'm afraid.

Well, so much for the evidence claim.
