Errrrrrrhhhmmmm...
What is the point of this?
As I said in the other thread, even if you could somehow prove beyond reasonable doubt that some guy was declared dead and later came to life, all you have is an unexplained phenomenon. You don't get to shoehorn in your own unsupported explanation as fact because none currently exist. "How else could it have happened?" is an argument from ignorance/incredulity and is a fallacy.
In fact, with text all you can prove is what people believed happened, at best. It does not tell you what actually happened. Especially when the people at that time were already surrounded with mythology and had no good science to explain stuff.
If you use faith as an answer, you have admitted you have no good reason or argument. Believing in something doesn't make it true. I think we could all demonstrate that pretty easily.
