Until the resurrection of Jesus is proven, it is evidence of nothing.  I have no idea what you mean by the resurrection "making sense."  But coming to baseless conclusions, does seem to be the hallmark of faith in god.

The Minimal Facts are:

1. Jesus died by crucifixion
2. Jesus' disciples believed that He rose and appeared to them
3. Saul, the persecutor of the Church, was suddenly changed
4. James, the skeptical brother of Jesus, was suddenly changed
5. Jesus' tomb was found to be empty

Do you have a theory about what happened that accounts for all five?

If so, we need to give it careful consideration. Thanks.
