They must not have considered a man rising from the dead noteworthy. :-\

That is true, but it isn't a problem. Field of textual criticism vets this out. Significant gap in time between actual event and recording of event does not disqualify it in modern scholarship. Truly, the primary and consistent exception to that idea is anything that validates Jesus. There scholarship invokes any liberties needed to justify a disqualification of Jesus. Still a huge portion of the written Christian corpus was purposefully, destroyed by Nero. Literally volumes or libraries worth of written materials destroyed via Christian hatred. Further, Jewish scholarship and Christian figures were of little to no value by non-Christian intellectuals in that period (funny how that persists to this day). It was only intervention by Constantine that Christianity received a fighting chance to preserve itself and thrive.

There is a lot of information available that addresses the dead saints rising claim. Obviously it was a fabrication. But it's only obvious when you use logic and common sense. To blindly accept it because it's in the bible is not logical not showing common sense. But if you want to believe it happened, doesn't bother me. Knock yourself out.
