The bible is also at odds with every other known source that deals with the period claimed.
I haven't been able to find any variances or it being at odds with non-Biblical texts. Nor could you.
Nor is that even a concern because you can prove Jesus resurrected without even going to the gospels. Scholars are asked which chapters of the Bible are they most convinced are authentic. They always agree 1 Cor. 15, Gal. 1 & 2 are definitely Paul's writing.
Paul said in these 3 chapters he spent 15 days with Peter, and with James and John on more than one occasion. He recounted the gospel creed and gave several appearances of the resurrected Jesus he received from the original Apostles.
So the burden is on you to find a naturalistic explanation to account for their eyewitness testimony in various group settings because nobody has been able to.
The first churches were set up based on the appearances of the resurrected Jesus.
