Historians all agree...

The way people behaved after the resurrection is a strong indicator of its validity. No one (at least no one sane) is willing to die for something (the resurrection) they know is untrue.

I agree with you, but I know that the counter to it will be that it is only a strong indicator that they believed it to be true, not that it really happened. I ofc find that to be more ludicrous than the Resurrection itself, but oh well.

Yeah. Crazy when you consider the eyewitnesses said they talked with Jesus and ate with him after His resurrection.

Not only do the words and actions of the followers of Jesus point to the truth of his resurrection, but had his resurrection that was being preached not been true, you can be sure that the Jews at the time would've made a such a huge issue of it that it would be recorded in history.

The Jews were adamant about their written law and the laws that proved something true are the same laws that are used to prove something false. Therefore, had the story of the resurrection been false the Jews would've provided the necessary 2 or more witnesses to prove the story as fictitious. Just the fact that the Jews today do not have anything recorded as such in their books (that are meticulous), is proof in itself that the resurrection is true.
