Indeed, at my school the vicar used to urge on us Frank Morison's book Who Moved the Stone? It demonstrated, with exhaustive citation from the Gospels, that since on these accounts no human had moved the stone from in front of Joseph of Arimathea's tomb, it must have been an angel who rolled it aside, so Jesus could exit, astonish the mourners and then ascend. Of course, Morison didn't allow the possibility that angels never existed or that the Gospel writers were making it up.

CB: Is he mixed up or what ? Presumably Cockburn's alternative to the "official" story as to what happened with the stone and Jesus is ...huh ... a conspiracy by the Gospel writers. Odd example to use in discouraging conspiracy theories.
