Proof of the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

I grant you that. Let’s call it a spiritual awakening, rather than a physical resurrection that breaks all known laws of nature.

Setting your snark aside, not all physical resurrections break laws of science:

And this is why I find the resurrection plausible if not necessarily probable. Rural celebrity visits the big city during Passover and gets in over his head. He has friends, but none local to Jerusalem. He’s scheduled for execution.

You’re a follower: what do you do? You pay a bribe. You are the popular rabbi: what do you do? You get the hell out of Dodge (ie meet me in Galilee). Now I understand that Roman soldiers who accepted bribes under such circumstances risked death themselves. But if the execution indeed occurred during a busy holiday, they may have been short-staffed and had opportunity to look the other way.

Purists will argue that I’m not exactly describing a resurrection. Details, details: I say beating the Roman army counts as a miracle.

Biffster: Modern historians consider the Bible to be a valid historical document. Why wouldn’t they? Acts is thought to shed insight on early Christianity for example, though interpretation must be careful, as for any old document.
