it; if the resurrection of Christ did not happen, these individuals would know that fact, since they claimed to be eyewitnesses to it. Although people such as terrorists often die for things that are untrue, in those events, the individuals believed that particular lie to be true (such as the 9/11 terrorists believing that they will be rewarded for their actions). Throughout recorded history, there is no other record of people ever dying for something that they know is a lie—human instinct for self-preservation is too strong.
