No, you said that historians are prevented from reaching the conclusion of JC's resurrection. Methodological naturalism has nothing to do with that. If it can be shown that such a resurrection actually took place and was a real, verifiable historical event - and remember, JC was (in the story) not the first person to be resurrected, then such a phenomenon is by its very nature a natural condition that may be investigated scientifically. Why would historians find themselves under a gagging order regarding the resurrection? It makes no sense.
