“Jesus’ resurrection could not have been
on a Sunday morning because John 20:1-2 shows that He had already risen before Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early in the morning, arriving “while it was still dark.””

It’s still dark at 5:30 am right now. Jesus could have risen at 5 am. I don’t see the discrepancy.

There is no discrepancy. The synoptics all agree that the sun had risen, the context of John indicates that it was dark when they had left the house, but is silent on if the sun was up when they arrived.
