Book excerpt: This paper proposes the strongest conceivable probabilistic argument (both rational and emotional) for the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ from his tomb, based on the joint probability of N independent events. This paper continues (from alternative angles of view) other past articles/preprints of the same author. The combined probability for more than 5-6 people (the martyr-apostles) to had accepted dying for a lie is a very small probability (under 1 over 10 billion, by my estimation based on psychological, medical, statistical and social arguments), so that the resurrection of Jesus is practically a certainty implicitly. We are talking about a certainty because, apart from the martyr-apostles (who have met Christ directly), there are thousands and thousands of martyrs who have died for Christ in the last 2000 years, and the combined generalized probability of dying for a lie for more than 2000 years (which probability includes both apostles and all later martyrs spread over 2 millennia!) is practically infinitesimal, so that the resurrection of Jesus is both a rational & emotional certainty implicitly.
