As for your thoughts on a search for some sort of historical proof of the Resurrection, well, I totally validate them. I don't really think such proof is possible (or would be, even if I thought the event had actually occurred): if it was, I think the thousands of years' worth of study and worship would have managed before now. However, I wish you luck, and ask that you send me any particularily pertinent sources, since you know how interested I am in relating Biblical narratives to historical fact.

If there was proof, somehow, that he did rise from the dead, I suppose I'd have to become Christian.

We should watch Godspell together.
Oh, absolutely, I'm there.
