Would he say the resurrection of Christ? But would that be proof enough for some? Would an eyewitness report be enough? Obviously not for the council that beat him for preaching in the name of Christ.
When Paul said that Christ had been evidently crucified before the Galatians, what do you think he meant by that? Maybe that God confirmed His word that Paul spoke with signs and wonders which gave veracity to Paul's words. Are signs and wonders enough?

Faith is reasonable. God is THE very essence of logic in action. He cannot be illogical.
The evidence that Peter would offer was current and known by people of his time. He was offering testimony as in a court of law.
Signs and wonders are NOT enough. Remember what Abraham told the rich man when he asked for Lazarus to good to his brothers????? "Even if one comes back from the dead".....
