Who are we more like: the disciples or the soldiers and chief priests? The disciples did not witness Christ's resurrection, but accepted it as true and went to the meeting place where Jesus was supposed to appear. Some doubted, but they went anyway. On the other hand, the high priests did not witness the resurrection either, and they rejected eyewitness testimony and created a more plausible explanation.
Our society has become so focused on science and technology, I think that we tend more toward the latter in most cases. When we hear of an event that defies explanation we are not going to assume that it's true and that it's a miracle of God. We are going to look for a plausible scientific explanation and if we can't find, we'll make up a new theory to justify it. How can we do this and call ourselves Christian at the same time? How can we justify being closed to the idea that some things happen outside of the "normal" rules?
God can do anything. We need to be open to the possibilities and not closed off in a temple of reason and science.
