It would just be a very unusual event which we sadly can't investigate. So to a sceptic, ressurection does not lead to Christianity being true.
The magician who just made you think a card disappeared doesn't get to tell you he teleported the card with his mind because you don't have another explanation. Even if he told you beforehand that is how it is done. I believe this is the "truth by cool tricks" fallacy. He still has to provide evidence for his claimed method, not just the predicted result.
How the same way God gave Adam life and for why, a promise to mankind that we could have eternal life. Without the resurrection there would have been a failed promise.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
