You've already seen my most detailed explanation of the most likely explanation. My evaluation of the full range of possible explanations is here. Will you be the first Christian to dare accept my challenge to assign numeric probabilities to each of these possible explanations (or to a similarly-detailed set)? (While "mopping the floor" with me, Jordan demurred from the challenge.) The only rules are that the classification should cover all the logical possibilities (including those I list, either separately or in aggregate), and no case should be given zero probability unless its logical impossibility is uncontroversial.

Here are two examinations of the resurrection evidence that I generally agree with:
