If (hypothetically) the resurrection (of the Jesus character) in the gospel myths, were objectively demonstrated to have happened, this would still not in and of itself represent sufficient objective evidence he was a deity, rather it would represent something we could not explain.
If in the future science were to (hypothetically), demonstrate that resurrecting someone after they had been (brain) dead, for three days, then this would not in any objective way suggest the story of the (Jesus) resurrection in the gospel myths, was factually true or even possible, and of course, even were that not the case, it would make the claim it needed a deity to resurrect someone demonstrably false. Put simply, something touted as defying natural or scientific explanation (a miracle) would have a natural scientific explanation.
Does this about sum it up so far, or have I missed something?
For the record, roses are not entirely flowers, and red roses are not entirely red.
