It's not just that your minimal facts do not prove Jesus rose from the dead even IF they were all true. They wouldn't. But you are claiming they prove the resurrection. Resurrection is a much, much larger claim. Many atheists or members of other religions may not know that, but I do, and I suspect you do too. Resurrection is being raised from the dead to everlasting life. What in any of your "facts" even suggests that Jesus will be alive forever more? And if he is still alive, why don't he write? Make an appearance? Say hi?
Would you believe me if I said He does?
Not until he says, "Hi!" to you personally. Then, everyone in this forum will turn on you because you will have NO evidence.
But you will have KNOW evidence, and it will change your life.
But about that resurrection. . . .
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
