IVF doesn't make magic book possible or more likely. There is still..in case you were unaware, a human father involved. That's never seemed like the most hilarious miracle in christianity to me, though. The one where stringing up some poor palestinian covers you for jacking your dick too much. That's the real fun one.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

False equivalence fallacy comparing resurrection/miracles to realities of technology, no matter how emotionally fulfilling it may be for you.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Yeah this massive false equivalency on par with people who believe in psychic powers insisting quantum mechanics backs their drivel

My point was about the plausibility of technological advances, not about proving a specific religious claim.

So, what I gather from these responses is that you guys concede to the argument that "miracles" like resurrections are, or will be, technologically possible endeavors, that they are not inconsistent with broader reality, and that your only objection is whether they happened in the Bible.

Agreed; I think the concept of miracles describes a subjective appraisal rather than an actual category of things. One person's science is another person's miracle.

Edit: Consistent with this point, I did a quick search and couldn't find the word miracle in the Bible. You'll find terms such as wonders and signs, but the idea of a miracle appears to be external the Bible itself.
