Natural explanations better account for Jesus' empty tomb than a literal bodily resurrection.

This debate focuses solely on explaining the status of Jesus’ tomb (the tomb burial argument is granted, but this is a debatable topic too).

The Pro side must argue that natural explanations such as body removal, relocation, or misidentification better account for the claim that the tomb was empty.

The Con side must argue that a literal bodily resurrection is the best explanation. Arguments must be evaluated based on explanatory power and prior probability.

Discussion of post-death appearances or martyrdom is not permitted in this round. The burden is to explain the tomb itself, not downstream beliefs.
