I've read that, those who were hostile to Christ during his life would have had no reason to steal his body, that the Romans would not have, and that his disciples-who seem confused about his saying that he had to die and rise again-would not have stolen the body because they didn't expect Christ to rise again.
I know about "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" film, but I've read that it's used sloppy methods and is generally unreliable. Any good books, or films, would be helpful to me, though.
I think the fact that people don't usually rise from the dead places the burden of proof squarely on the person making the claim. So there is really nothing you need do. You don't have to disprove Zeus or Thor or any other farfetched claim, so what is so special about the resurrection?
Blame Hitchens, Dawkins & Harris...
