I have no intention of challenging this. However, I would like to see a death certificate, by a licensed doctor. My suspicion of course, is that he didn't really die on the cross, as all of the texts suggest, but that perhaps they took him down, assumed he was dead, put him into a tomb and then he woke up three days later and crawled out of his tomb.
I guess Caesar didn't die on the Ides of March, given the evidence for both is comparable... I jest, but seriously, the fact that Christ died by crucifixion is one of the most attested facts in all of antiquity. No scholars worth anything at all go with the swoon theory (what this theory is called).
You would have to explain how the blood in the chest cavity was mixed with water and came out of him when he was stabbed with a spear. What this means (this is a claim virtually zero specialist scholars dispute), is that the blood in Jesus' chest cavity had been "pooling" for some time. In other words, there was zero blood flow at the time he was stabbed with a spear. Also, the Romans knew what they were doing when they did crucifixion. People did not survive crucifixion because if they did, then the soldiers responsible for the crucifixion would be crucified themselves, and I shouldn't need to explain why that would be... undesirable. Josephus talks about three of his colleagues who were crucified but were taken down from the cross when they were still alive... two of them died.
Also to note is that it was a feast day for the Jews, and it was considered not Kosher for people to be on the cross during that time. So, the Romans took the people on the cross down for the feast. The thing is, they broke the legs of the other two thieves who were on either side of Jesus to hasten their deaths by preventing them from pushing up with their legs to breathe. And they did not break Jesus legs cuz he was already clearly dead. And again, the Romans would not have risked Jesus being alive because then they would be on the chopping block (but... much, much worse than a chopping block, just so we are clear).
Last thing to consider here is even if Jesus somehow survived crucifixion and revived three days later, the Disciples would not think to themselves... "Oh, joy, our savior is risen from the dead!" Rather, they would think, "Let's get him patched up and keep him away from the Romans and religious authorities." There would be no myth that Christ rose from the dead if he somehow managed to survive crucifixion, because he would have been in such bad shape he would have been a liability rather than a miraculous savior who rose from the dead. And, let's be honest, people are not THAT dumb to believe that when Jesus is in such rough shape, that he can't really even walk, let alone lead a revolt against the Romans.
I also have my suspicions about a "virgin birth." And healing lepers and blind men.
Personally, I believe if God can create the universe from nothing, then any miracles that happen within the universe are pretty elementary to God. We have many documented miracles. I'd be happy to share a few with you for you to consider if you want.
These days we have televangelists "healing people" on TV and collecting million$ in donations and they need a private Lear jet so they can fly around and "do God's work."
Those people are charlatans who prey on the weak and the gullible. They are despicable people, and they don't have any power. 99% of them, at least. Real miracles rarely make television, but that doesn't mean they don't happen, and some miracles are actually caught on camera/voice.
I'm also suspicious about feeding 5,000 people with two fish and a loaf of bread. And then having a bunch of leftovers. My suspicion here is that people brought food with them. They knew he was coming, and was going to preach, and they came prepared.
We are not debating the miracles in the Bible, but we can debate if miracles happen at all.
