Besides, falsifiability is determined in principle, and practical difficulties don't mean something is in principle impossible.
So I don't think there's a case for unfalsifiability here.
People do not rise from the dead; that's our experience. Once you're declared to be clinically dead, absent a mistake, you remain dead. In the case of Jesus, no medical doctor was on the scene to pronounce clinical death; we have no death certificate. Having said that, I think that Jesus did die, and any so-called "visions" of him after that were bereavement visions, which got embellished over time.
We just don't believe it's impossible. And by the way, quantum mechanics says the same thing.
As for the visions, that interpretation doesn't make sense. Are your saying it's a mass hallucination
