Can you please provide some of this heaps of evidence.... most of what I have seen, is just making up a different story and denying the actual historical evidence, because of a priori bias against any type of miracle. It's not considered good historical scholarship at all.
Aside from multiple studies in cognitive psychology revealing all sorts of biases that trip people into having false memories, imperfect attention, and misguided heuristics, all you have to do is watch on TV or YouTube multiple people who are convinced that this person or that person alive now on this planet is the bloody reincarnation of Jesus or Krishna or whoever.
