Hi Unconvinced,
Thanks for your post.
I was hoping for a question or two. However, you posted a bunch of questions. I've already done this research, so I don't mind the question bombing. I'd like to caution you though, because some people will mind question bombing.
I've answered Dan Barker's Easter Challenge. In it, I've provided answers to most (if not all) of the questions below. You can see this here: http://jcsm.org/biblelessons/Barker17.htm
Sincerely,
Jason Gastrich

Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John tell us about it. Some info is found in Acts as well I believe.
-What day did it happen?
-What time of day was it?
-Who went to the tomb?
-What did they see at the entrance to the tomb?
-Did anyone enter the tomb?
-Who explained the missing body of Jesus?
-Where were/was the messenger(s)?
-What did the messenger(s) say exactly?
-Did everyone believe the resurrection at first?
-To whom did Jesus reveal himself?
-What were Jesus` parting words?
-From where and when did Jesus ascend into heaven?
I`m sure it`s known that all these accounts are different, do you consider differing accounts mistakes, or proof that it really happened? Do you understand that putting these accounts into the realm of human observation to explain discrepancies keeps them in that realm, making all the accounts NON-divine?
I actually won`t really go further, there is a multitude of these games going on and it`s boring. Maybe you could make an answer to the skeptic`s annotated Bible, which has a lot of cheekiness I admit, but some good points nonetheless.
It could be the "Believer`s annotated Skeptic`s annotated bible"!
Cheekiness? That's putting it nicely. It has a lot of bogus claims and ignorance. See my rebuttal here:

God bless,
