Heres a few contemporary witnesses . Some wrote their eye witness account of Jesus being crucified then risen again :
1. Matthew the tax collector
2. Mark
3. Luke , a top grade historian and medical Doctor
4. John, of Jesus' inner circle.
5. Peter, of Jesus' inner circle.
6. Mary , Jesus mother was present.
7. Mary Magdelene was present.
8. The Soldier in charge of the crucifixion declared Jesus to be the Son of God.
9. Paul who later saw the risen Christ .
10 . Over 500 locals who saw the risen Christ . Some touched him. Some ate with him.
11. All of the Jewish Supreme Court members .
12. All of the Roman Soldiers.
13. Simon of Sirene who carried Jesus' cross partway.
Today, if you have just ONE witness , it is often enough for a person to face the death penalty in our Judicial System.
How come you dont want to properly investigate the death and ressurection of Christ ? And, why dont you want a personal theistic Creator to even exist ? Can u please list your answers to these two questions ?

Here's the deal. It don't matter how many eyewitnesses a book claims it has, that don't give
any credence to the supernatural claims. Whereas in our judicial system, the person claiming to be a witness isn't claiming to see any supernatural powers. And I'm sure that if they did, they'd need far more evidence than merely their claim.
You had better properly investigate the content of your own claims before asking the opposition to do it.
