I tried to ask this question in an earlier thread, because I'm genuinely curious about your response. Although I know you believe Jesus was resurrected, what kind of an archaeological find would you require in order to cast doubt upon that belief? While I have suspicions about this particular case, I wonder what evidence (in terms of statistics, geographical location etc) might be compelling for a Christian.

Naturally we use ancient texts such as the Gospels to interpret finds; but at some point, it's possible for these finds to influence the veracity of ancient texts.

Could you sketch out the "perfect find" of Jesus' body? (And a corrolary to this question--if such a sketch cannot be created, does that mean there is no historical evidence which could dissuade Christians from their belief in the [historical] resurrection?)

Thanks in advance.
