jockmcplop,
But that is exactly what Jesus did in the case of the young girl for whom the mourners were already doing their business. He said that she was only sleeping proving the point that death is not the end in itself rather a transitional point on the way to another life. Is that not what the argument regarding His resurrection is all about? Some believe and others don't but nonetheless witnesses bear fruit that these things happened. Did Luke not spend the best part of his life investigating these things, coming up with the answer that they did happen?
The people whom I speak of were pronounced dead by doctors according to what I read and yet they revived with their stories of lights and feelings to the amazement of those around them. So your statement is a rather bold one if only because you weren't there in any of these events. Of course you can make as many rudimentary observations as to why it shouldn't happen but these will never take away the fact that they did. As for me, I look forward to life after death which according to Scripture will not be in this body but another specially made for me.
