» Brian Tubbs - Proving the Resurrection

The hallucination argument breaks down in terms of explaining the first century, post-resurrection appearances. According to Paul, over 500 people saw Jesus. Are you saying that 500 people all had hallucinations? Scholars have by and large rejected this.

As far as the resurrection being a scam, you're postulating a rather large, comprehensive conspiracy that would've taken place right under the noses of the Roman authorities AND the Jewish authorities in Jerusalem.

All the Romans and Jews would've had to do to put a stop to this conspiracy was produce the body of Jesus.

Moreover, are you suggesting that all these followers of Jesus went to their deaths (suffering torture in many cases) for something they KNEW to be a lie and a fraud?
