Evidence from the martyrdom of the Apostles.  The historical record is strong in suggesting that Peter and James (at least) were put to death for their belief in a resurrected Jesus, which seems unlikely if they had made the whole thing up.

People die for their beliefs all the time, regardless of it's rationality or it's 'truth'. People will die for a lie, even if held sincerely. I don't think it's a very good apologist argument.
