Christianity, as we came to know it, is Paul and Paul is Christianity.
Historians are bound by their discipline to work within the parameters of a scientific view of reality. Women do not get pregnant without a male—ever. So Jesus had a human father, whether we can identify him or not. Dead bodies don't rise—not if one is clinically dead—as Jesus surely was after Roman crucifixion and three days in a tomb. So if the tomb was empty the historical conclusion is simple—Jesus' body was moved by someone and likely reburied in another location.
