You faith is admirable but it is faith, not knowledge. If it was knowledge based upon pictures or video or actual verifiable artifacts it wouldn't be faith. It would be knowledge and would have far less value. Humility, which most religions teach, is the basis for accepting something greater than what you can know without proof. It is necessary for faith.

Actually, I wrote what I did about the Resurrection because it is as well-established historically as the existence of Julius Caesar. See Josh MCDowell's "More Than a Carpenter" for details.

And that knowledge, that the event certainly happened, is not of any less value than faith.
