I'll instruct them to burn down the hospital to make sure there is no physical evidence left behind. People can even see them do it. They can even tell them exactly why it is being done, and by whom. If there is no physical evidence which ties back to them then they cannot convict me of either crime. And best of all anybody who says that I did it, is irrational basing their opinion on the claims of alleged witnesses and hearsay?
Your scenario just gets more and more ludicrous, RR. (Oh, and a burned-down hospital is physical evidence, you know.)
The critical difference between witnesses to your hypothetical crime and the alleged witnesses to scriptural events is that we can cross-examine living witnesses to see if there are consistencies and overall plausibility in their testimony.
Your scenario, as idiotic as it is becoming, still has not crossed into the realm of an extraordinary event. Hospitals can burn. Bodies can disappear. Unlikely as it all is, it is at least physically possible. This is why you're barking up the wrong tree with this whole thread -- You're trying to compare a possible real-life event with something that's vastly more likely to be mythology.
