Why do you believe?

[Jackalope]

Indeed. Who are these eyewitnesses? Where is their testimony?

(crickets)

The new testament, the early church, the thousands of souls who died for his name in the first century. Are you kidding me? Paul who once killed the church but was converted and served it until his death. The eye witness testimony showed evidence by how they over took the entire roman empire in only a small amount of years! And it wasn't with weapons. but with sighns and wonders, love, and the witness of Christ ressurection. There testimony has turned the world upside down for two thousand years. It's the reason why you're talking about it know. Christianity's effect in the first century is a known fact. There effect in anctient rome is also a known historical fact.

I'm referring specifically to the account of the resurrection / empty tomb story. At best all you have is second hand stories, and as nobody knows who wrote the gospels, you can't even reasonably claim that.

And frankly, without that, you've got nothing.
