If Christ is not risen

Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

But now Christ
is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:12-20 NKJV
Just a reminder, in case you had already heard about film director James Cameron's latest documentary, in which he challenges the resurrection. It's not only Church men who are challenging him on his claims, it looks, so far, like the larger archeological community is not happy with him either.
