LOL. Fact equals undisputed. That's what you don't seem to get.

1. Jesus died by crucifixion
2. Jesus' disciples believed that He rose and appeared to them
3. Saul, the persecutor of the Church, was suddenly changed
4. James, the skeptical brother of Jesus, was suddenly changed
5. Jesus' tomb was found to be empty
The above isn't fact for obvious reasons. No stone cold evidence, not one undisputed point.
