Nope.
The resurrection is like saying someone stole my car. Upon questioning, I say it was a Mexican who walked up and stole it while I was at a gas station. My second story is that two Mexicans drove up in a pickup truck, one jumped out and stole it while I was getting fuel at a gas station. My third story is that a black guy wearing a gray hoodie with three friends stole my car while it was parked at a fast food place next door to a gas station. My fourth story is that a white woman stole my car while I was in a Walmart parking lot and she peeled out of the parking lot while laughing at me.
Which story is the truth? Are any of them true? As an investigator, what is more likely -- that all of them are true or is it more likely that all of them are false? Was there even a car stolen? You can’t say “well the central part of the story is about a stolen car.” NO. Period. The central part of the story is that none of it matches anything and is most likely fiction. And later you discover that I’d been watching a lot of movies about stolen cars and had a vision, uh, err, I mean a dream that my car had been stolen…
Yet Christian apologists say that all the stories are true, they’re just told from different viewpoints. But remember, this is supposedly THE pivotal event of human history … and the most powerful being in the universe is supposedly dictating or revealing or “inspiring” this information to four men, three of whom were supposed witnesses to this pivotal event, and they couldn’t get their stories straight? Remember, ALL these stories were written AFTER Paul had been preaching his faith/grace gospel for 20-40 years … were they written to prop up his visions? The gospels are really just FAN FICTION.
