Your premises assume Christian theism to support Christian theism. I don't understand what you don't understand about that. You can't even engage in basic reasoning about explanations without begging the question. I want good reasons to believe your explanation of the "five facts" is likely true, meaning it doesn't circularly appeal to the facts it's trying to explain as evidence for itself and as evidence of the "five facts."

I'm not going to repeat myself anymore.
Have you stopped to consider that the resurrection of Jesus IS evidence that there is a God? Or that coming to the conclusion that the resurrection makes sense is a step toward faith in God?
There was likely an empty tomb because Jesus resurrected, and Jesus likely resurrected because there was an empty tomb.
As I and others have repeated other simpler explanations are, no matter how unlikely, still more likely than resurrection given the facts about biology. The strength of your case is too capricious to be taken seriously.
Is there anything left say when you ignore science and think history can strongly support claims that go against hard sciences.
