Proving or disproving the resurrection

I guess we sometimes feel pressured to prove the resurrection to sceptical friends and family. This is a great quote from Tim Keller's book The Reason for God:

“Most people think that, when it comes to Jesus resurrection, the burden of proof is on believers to give evidence that it happened. That is not completely the case. The resurrection also puts the burden of proof on its unbelievers. It is not enough to simply believe Jesus did not rise from the dead. You must then come up with a historically feasible alternative explanation for the birth of the church…” (pg 202)
