That is one enormous if, almost as big as the one in if He can create everything from nothing. Imputting divine intention into every happenstance is so out there that if you have to ask "what's the big deal" it is a pretty sure bet you can't or won't see the answer.
Do you seriously think that's all there is to it? That people try to divert to that particular passage merely because they don't believe in a god that can raise people from the dead? There are numerous raisings in the Bible. That isn't the first, or the last. Why is that the one they go to?
Alpha, none of us believe in God at all. It's not just that we don't think he can raise the dead. It's that we don't think he exists. Wouldn't it make more sense to assume people go to this verse just to get on your nerves?
