Did the resurrection of Christ happen

OK I'll try to make this quick since you have limited time. Skepticism-i agree with point number 2 as well and I shoulder the burden of proof in this instance happily Biased sources-first of all, there's no such thing as unbiased sources, they simply don't exist. Everyone writing anything, arguing anything, etc. Have their own agendas in mind. That being said there's no reason to throw away the Bible in general or the Gospels in particular. Most if not all scholars hold that the Gospels share the same structure as all Greco-Roman biographies so should be taken as such..[ http://ehrmanblog.org...] [http://www.amazon.com...] I've given you there both Christian and non Christian sources. The Gospels and Bible itself really are documents of history and should be taken as such and not as some holy book written all at once by a biased council or anything. That all being said however, I am willing to disregard the Gospels despite all evidence saying I don't have to. 1 Corinthians 15 3-8 says 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas,[b] and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born. This text is an early Christian Creed denoting the gospel itself. It was put into creedal form as a way of memorization anywhere from 6 months to 2 years of the cross itself and was received by Paul no later than 5 years of the cross. In this text there are several groups mentioned as to seeing the risen Christ including Cephas(Peter), the twelve (apostles), a group of 500 men which may actually be closer to 1k if you include women, James and last of all Paul. If this was untrue or legendary anyone of these groups could've falsified it. https://youtu.be... Certain questions need be asked here-If Jesus didn't resurrect, how did Christianity get off the ground at all? All the opposers of Christianity had to do was display Jesus's body on the 3rd day and Christianity would be crushed. The Bible and extra biblical sources such as josephas declare that the "disciples stole the body" excuse was used which implies am empty tomb. The only options available to the skeptic are 1-hallucination theory 2-disciples stole the body 3-swoon theory 1-the hallucination theory works for the disciples, but not for Thomas who declared unbelief until he touched the risen Christ James who was an unbeliever even up to the cross declaring his brother a madman Paul who was an enemy of Christianity even sanctioning the murders of Christians such as Stephen Not to mention even it was all simply hallucinations, the body would still be in the tomb. 2-disciples stole the body works for explaining the empty tomb, but not for the post resurrection appearances especially to the skeptics I just listed. It's also highly unlikely that they would knock out the elite Roman guards at the tomb, roll up and back the roughly 2 ton stone at a roughly 45"angle, steal the body (which was a capital crime punishable by death) and then start declaring Jesus risen to the point of their own violent deaths though they knew it to be a lie 3-swoon theory doesn't work because Roman Crucifixion was such a brutal method of execution those people often died during the scurging alone. If the victim were to survive, the executioners would be killed themselves.Also this would imply that a horribly beaten Jesus near the point of death would suddenly gain the strength after 3 days in a dark, damp tomb to roll the stone back himself, dispatch the Roman guards then travel miles and miles to appear to his disciples and other witnesses and declare that he has conquered death and the grave. http://www.amazon.com... http://www.amazon.com... http://www.amazon.com... Taking the position of con would imply all these reasons, plus some I haven't mentioned yet must be successfully refuted and alternate explanations must be given to satisfy all points in a non ad hock manner which simply can't be done and Occam's razor would favor the resurrection as the best possible explanation as it satisfies explanatory power and scope Christ myth theory-i don't really need to refute this as for the purposes of this debate Jesus's existence is assumed. Though this claim is laughable at best and out right ridiculous at worst. No serious scholar holds this position outside Richard Carrier.
