While we can agree that the divinity stories came after the fact, there should be no doubt that many of the events from Palm Sunday and the following week happened as described.What I'm saying is we have no idea if any of the gospel stories are even real. We have no idea if anyone actually believed they saw Jesus alive after his death or were they all just stories made up to convince people that Jesus was divine.
The resurrection could have happened if Jesus had survived the crucifixion....although I doubt he'd be walking around due to the wounds.
