An expert of circumstantial evidence , Simon Greenleaf, was an ardent skeptic of Christianity. He used to poke jabs at some of his students in what he saw was the naiveté of their faith. He was challenged to apply what he knew about legal evidence to the case for the resurrection. As a result of an investigation of the resurrection, he did a 180-degree turnaround. He became convinced that Jesus had actually come back from the dead and wrote a book about the evidence. Now, just because he was a skeptic and brilliant and trained in the field of legal investigation, this doesn't 'prove' that the resurrection actually happened---but, it does indicate that there's a tremendous amount of evidence that most people have never examined.
