In the end, it can be broken down to:
'BBBBBUT THE TOMB WAS EMPTY!!!!1!1!1 WHAT'S YOUR THEORY HUH?!?!?!!'
All the objections to this line of thinking notwithstanding. I guess they're not in his scenario.
The apostles began to preach the resurrection of Jesus in Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified and buried.
If the tomb wasn't empty, why didn't the authorities simply take the body from the tomb, parade it through the streets, and silence the Apostles?
Since the Gospels were written years and decades after the alleged events by unknown authors who were almost certainly not eyewitnesses, there is no reason to believe in their literal truth.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
