  You also have a secondary problem and question.  How did the apostles go from hiding in a upper room to bold preachers?  How and why did Saul become Paul?   Remember that before he took the name Paul, Saul was about as anti-Christian as they come.  Why would he change if the tomb was not empty and he had not seen Jesus alive after he had died?
