To turn away from the great questions and dilemmas of life is a tragedy, for the quest for meaning and truth makes life worth living.

No, you can take it from an expert in cover-ups-I've lived through Watergate-that nothing less than a resurrected Christ could have caused those men to maintain to their dying whispers that Jesus is alive and is Lord.
