Category failure. The natural explanation™ is that it's in the story as an important detail to the plot, lol.
But Jesus' missing corpse
What missing corpse? You have to see what I mean about this rabbit hole. Get back to me when you find Mina Harkers missing corpse. She had to be buried somewhere, but without the body how can we know she recovered from the curse to marry Jonathon? Maybe the disappearance of her body had some hand in the stories about her vampirism. That would be the natural explanation, and not an unreasonable position.

There you go with your hyper-literal interpretations again, silly atheist.
There was a group of proto-christians who believed exactly this. Their beliefs were important to the formalization of literature even if they were executed and declared heretics by a mob of other heretics. The story was allegorically true of a non literally equivalent divine reality.
