eye witnesses claiming to see Jesus after he was killed alive.
around 500 plus the apostles and paul
odds of 500 people going crazy all at once is improbable

Wrong, 500 people, to whom the bible doesn't give us sufficient details to verify (in fact it gives us no details for most of the people, and the people it does mention are almost impossible to track down during one of the best documented periods of the Roman empire no less) are alleged* to have witnessed a resurrected Jesus.

Alleged is very important here, you can as truthfully allege that I killed Yitzak Rabin as you can allege that 500 people saw an actual resurrected Jesus. Even if you could find sworn testimony from five hundred people stating they saw him after he died, that doesn't even mean they did, they just thought they did. Illusions can be very convincing altogether especially if you've a predisposition to believe them (c.f. the UFO mania, and its mother the medieval witch mania).
