Common objections to the Resurrection

From a Pekin Bible Sunday School class by Russ Lindahl..

1) Jesus didn't die, he merely swooned. The coolness of the grave revived Him and came out. (This view is held by Islam). Answer: How would he move the stone? The brutality and science of crucifixion.
2) Since it was dark, the women went to the wrong tomb. Answer: Mark 16:2- It was light!
3) The disciples stole the body at night (Matthew 28:12-15). Answer: 11 of the disciples died for what they believed. Would they die for what they knew to be a lie?
4) It was only a spiritual resurrection, not a physical one. Answer: Read Luke 24 for many physical appearances. Where's the body?
5) Jesus had a twin brother. They had been scheming for years. Answer: Nail holes, impossible to engineer his own death.
