Besides, with no evidence of the resurrection to speak of, nor any secondary witnesses to that claim outside of the bible itself, it's not exactly the concrete historical event you seem to want to characterize it as.
When you say "bible" it implies one source. It didn't become the NT until 300 years later so what you have are 4 gospels, and multiple period letters from Paul, Peter, James, John, and Jude. Again, we have a whole bunch of people who not only believed, but acted upon that belief.
