Lately I have been doubting the existence of God, because ultimately how can someone have created this world. I have read Genesis and Matthew and from them, I feel a lot of it is impossible and I feel it was written back then as a scapegoat because people did not have the background in science that we have today. Brian Greene, a theorist on the string theory recently spoke at my school, and although it isn't proven ultimately if it does then there really is no free will because everyone thinks because of the different reaction of a string or anything. I asked him if there could be a God if there was no free will and he didnt give me a definnitive answer.
Now I am asking if anybody can pull information about the falsehood of Jesus' resurrection...if anybody can give me helpful links or something that would be great.
Thanks!

No one can disprove the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's been tried and never proven. The tomb was empty and no one had the ability to steal his body; even the Jewish authorities admit that His body was gone.
Try as you might, you will not find the truth if you expect to find it by scientific reasoning.

That is a lot to take in before I have had my coffee.
Ok proving the resurection...we can't. It was 2000 years ago. All you have is other people word for it. I personally never felt right with whole Jesus being God's son and rising from the dead. But that's just me. Also that type of thing is in EVERY religion, even Pagans, so its not unheard of. There are a lot of theories on it. The Lost Tomb of Jesus was a really interesting show and had a lot of good points. It was on the History Channel.
Free will....yes I believe in it. Even if we all are going on a string of events that can change at any time with any one choice. You don't HAVE to do anything. You might not like the alternative choice...but there are choices.Always.
If you aren't feeling right about your faith, learn about others. REad as much as you can about all the different ones. It will either help you find a faith that feels right to you, or it will help you appreciate the faith you have. OR you won't believe in anything which is okay too. :)

It is a matter of faith, You do not have to disprove the Resurrection because it has never been proved, That would be the argument I would take. You can also point out that the best "so called" scientific evidence is that they found a tomb with no body. If they pull out the scripture ask what each gospel specifically says about it.
Edit: I see a lot of people saying that you will not prove anything but convert trying. Just remember that this story is in the bible, and always follow the golden rule "Never explain an unknown with a greater unknown".

There is no way that I know of, to disprove the Resurrection. The attempt was made by a 'at the time' Atheist Josh McDowell, who went on to write one of the greastest books known about the defense of the Resurrection, in an attempt to disprove it.
So unless you can come up with something that he didn't see, you are 'barking up the wrong tree.'

Plain and simple - if 500 people told a judge that they saw you murder someone, who does the judge believe? Well over 500 people saw Jesus after His resurrection - and there is also the non-Christian references to the event by Tacitus, Pliny the Younger and Josephus. And to argue that Christians made it up to serve there own beliefs - why would they risk death (which most of the 500 did get murdered) for a lie they could easily recant?

Impossible to disprove. History is on the side of the resurrection, whether you believe it or not. Too many details and evidences show that it is the only logical answer, if a supernatural one. Many an atheist and agnostic have come to faith because they try to disprove the resurrection. I hope this happens for you.

Friends of the world against God
Jas:4:1: From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
Jas:4:2: Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Jas:4:3: Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Jas:4:4: Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Jas:4:5: Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
Jas:4:6: But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Jas:4:7: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Jas:4:8: Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Jas:4:9: Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
Jas:4:10: Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Jas:4:11: Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Jas:4:12: There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Jas:4:13: Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
Jas:4:14: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Jas:4:15: For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
Jas:4:16: But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
Jas:4:17: Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

There is no need to disprove the tooth fairy or the resurrection. Those who claim it need proof. Their second hand pathetic claims of the bible do not count as proof, or even as evidence, but only as second hand bias. If Christians have no other evidence, then they have no evidence that does not require faith.

If you could take me back in time and we could watch his tomb and see that he never came out, I guess that would prove it; I don't know of any other way.
How could someone have created this world? How could it exist if it wasn't created? How could life have come into existence without a Creator? Science cannot explain the origin of life and many scientists know that. They still can't get DNA to form spontaneously with carefully controlled lab conditions.
