To be dead, and lying in a tomb, and then magically get up. Is it not a delusion to believe this?... Is there not indisputable evidence that tells us that these things are not physically possible?Only if you think it is delusion to believe that miracles are possible. I do not believe the universe is causally closed and known physical laws may not be unequivocally binding. The only difference between a miracle and a physical law is that physical laws happen regularly and miracles are one-shot deals.
(Personally, I do not like applying legal concepts to scientific ones. The term ‘physical law’ implies governance by an entity actively enforcing the law. In reality, what we call laws are really, from a scientific perspective empirically strong propensities.)
