The evidence for our Lord’s life and death and resurrection may be, and often has been, shown to be satisfactory; it is good according to the common rules for distinguishing good evidence from bad. Thousands and tens of thousands of persons have gone through it piece by piece, as carefully as every judge summing up a most important cause. I myself have done it many times over, not to persuade others, but to satisfy myself. I have been used for many years to study the histories of other times, and to examine and weigh the evidence of those who have written about them, and I know of no one in the history of mankind which is proved by better and fuller evidence of every sort, to the understanding of a fair inquirer, than the great sign which God has given us that Christ died and rose again from the dead

In order to prove it to non-belivers you really need to go outside the bible to find evidance to support it.
And taht means historical and archeoligical. Many Roman historians metioned new Testement events during the first centruray AD
Within 110 years of Christ's crucifixion, approximately eighteen non-Christian sources mention more than one hundred facts, beliefs, and teachings from the life of Christ and early Christendom. These items, I might add, mention almost every major detail of Jesus' life, including miracles, the Resurrection, and His claims to deity.
The Gospel's portrayals of the temple, Pilate's court, Jesus' crown of thorns, and the mode of His execution have all also been confirmed.

Lets here what evidence you have that the stories are true.
Lets here what evidence the other side has that the stories are false.

The inside of the Earth is hotter then the surface of the son and the accounts of near death experiences where people have reported to go to heaven or hell. There was a case, ill find out, about a person who went to hell and had demons scratching on her legs, when she awoke, she had makes on her legs. This was on a UK chat show about 5 years ago
We can talk about the codes along with Nostradamus and Silvia Brown on another thread
Nostradamus predicts have no meaning and can mean anything. The bible code is more accurate and cannot be coindence due to the accurate detailed.

I would like to hear both sides give their best argument based in real world science, history, and archeology.
