Well yeah, I believe I stated that up front.
The conclusion I'm driving towards is something like: You can say God doesn't exist and therefore he didn't resurrect anyone, but not that resurrections aren't possible therefore God doesn't exist.
That's why comments that rant over the Bible being fiction don't address the question. Owls are owls whether they're laying eggs in your yard or delivering you mail from Hogwarts. You can say Harry Potter is fiction therefore those particular owls aren't real, but not that owls don't exist therefore Harry Potter is fiction
There’s no reason you shouldn’t believe in the Resurrection, but I’m curious as to why you’re going to such great lengths to reduce it to science, since doing so obviates the need for God.
What other miracles have scientific explanations? Did gravity boots allow Jesus to walk on water? Was he able to feed the multitude with a Star Trek-type replicator? If you’re going to look for a natural or technological process to explicate one miracle, why not all of them?
