The Resurrection
#1
The Resurrection
The resurrection often gets touted as the point at which Christians depart from reality. Atheists may, for example, be open to most points about Jesus' existence up until the resurrection. Together with the virgin birth, these are the famous miracles which are traditionally seen as bending credulity and reality.

However, I've never had issues believing they could happen regardless of whether they did. Reality is often more mind-bending than theory. For example, prior to IVF technology, intercourse was the only rational route for pregnancy; and as such the virgin birth had to be believe on faith alone. Today, we have growing technology that can produce embryos from two males and no mother.  On a scale of incredulity, the virgin birth should rank lower than double-father-no-mother births, and yet the latter is reality, and the former is stigmatized as irrational.

And so, do you believe resurrections are possible in theory or even probable in practice?

ps. My question is not about the historicity of the Resurrection but rather about the theory and science of it (hence why this is posted in philosophy not religion).
