The Saducees taught and believed that their were no resurection. Paul is dispelling this idea with a logical train of thought. It starts with the miricals the Apstoles could do. They attributed those works directly to God. Now if they were not of God then God would not support their ministry with the signs and wonders that He did. That means God also supported their doctrinal ministry as well, which included the resurection. Paul is setting up a retorical question, when he asks this question.Once an animal life form is dead, it's dead. There's no resurrection. Imagine if the last chicken you ate came back to life as you was eating it. If an animal is resuscitated then it wasn't dead. The next time you go to a funeral resurrect the corpse. You are supposed to be an adult. Stop believing in zombies and ghosts. This is the modern world. Your beliefs belong with dead cave men. The more you spout them the more you appear to be bat shit crazy.
Understandably, 'proof' for them' is not 'proof' for us.
So if you can not wrap your mind around the possiblity of a biblical resurrection because you have tainted it with a disbelief in magic and you assoceiate that word only with magic, then lets take a fresh look.
Let's look at just definations/principles of what is being discussed, and apply them to terms you know and can understand.
So ask yourself is it possible for anyone to die (in any way shape or form) and be brought back to life? Well, yes of course they can. we have all sorts of proceedures and technology that help us do this. (Again remember we are looking to see if it is even physically possible on any scale, or do we cease to exist when clinical death occurs.)
Now take your answer and apply it to the defination of 'resurrection' which is to be brought back to life from the dead, and you have your answer is resurrection possible? Yes it is possible, it is a proven fact. You just have to get past your own limitations you place on God, and what is being discussed.
So your saying once an animal dies no other animal can ever share the exact same DNA profile? That once something has completely died nothing of it can ever be recreated?
Again, open your closed mind. Look past your familiarity with the words used in the bible, and look at what they are actually describing.
We ourselves are on the door step of resurrecting/copying/Cloning our own bodies... How is it then (In your mind) completely out of reach of God?
