Resurrection (cont'd)

Mainstream university scholars and theologians during the last forty years have moved from thinking that Jesus's empty tomb is a "joke" to believing that the empty tomb is "highly reliable."

Dr. Gary Habermas, distinguished philosopher, assembled data sufficient to show that the Bible's claim is at least as reliable as any other historical data we have for the ancient world.  Actually, by mainstream historians' standards, it's more reliable.  See this video talk to hear about the data which passed inspection at Michigan State University and has been widely published.

"Legendary" atheist Antony Flew, a friend of Dr. Habermas, debated the resurrection of Christ with him.  In a move that got the attention of the world, influenced by a number of factors, Dr. Flew changed his mind about the existence of God in his last years, not to Christianity but to a sort of deism.
