Or John the Baptist's resurrection (Mk 6,14; Mk 6, 16). In the Bible the resurrections are as common as people in the real world buying wrist watches.

Um, no. There are plenty of impossibilities in Jesus's life to take him for granted, like feeding 5000 people with five loafs of bread, census where people need to travel, quick trial at night during which he is beaten, killing of 20000 pigs, or when Jesus says to a guy one or two sentences and he leaves his life and family to follow him, and so on.

In quantum world information can not be destroyed, like if you burn a paper book some of it turns to smoke and some in ash, but you could in theory gather all the atoms and put them together as they once were, but there is no known way to do it. I guess that's how teleporters in the Star Trek work: they disassemble a person (thus killing him) and then reassemble him on a different location.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
