The hypothetical is a red herring. Unfortunately, "Mark's" Gospel (the first one written) doesn't contain any resurrection accounts like the one you've described.
EDIT: it's like when I came out of the closet to my friends and one of them asked "ok, so hypothetically, what would you say to Jesus when he returns"? It's a hypothetical void of any meaning until the Christian can provide the evidence that Jesus of the Bible existed as described.
Ok if I changed it to a flying saucer and a trip to crapandria the 2nd planet in the dobobian system would it be more acceptable. the point I'm trying to demonstrate is personal experience trumps any other proof which is why I see so often the reply "why doesn't God just show himself clearly" which is just an allusion to "give me a personal experience of God and I will then believe."
