Question to all Religions

Jesus Christ, according to the Bible, was resurrected from the dead and then He levitated to the skies where He joined His Father.

From a purely scientific point of view and without involving any godly powers :

Levitating is a difficult physics problem. Getting resurrected is a difficult biology problem. Difficult biology problems are much more difficult than physics problems.

Have more people:

A Levitated up to the sky.

B Recovered after being clinically dead.

Now if you phrased it "Resurrecting yourself from the dead," we may have more to ponder.

I can imagine instances where Medicine, Biology and Chemistry bring back a dead person to life -- it's not possible right now and I can't get past the damaged-brain obstance.

But it sure seems a hell of a lot "easier" (relatively speaking) when compared to levitation.

Nonetheless, people here are voting overwhelmingly the other way! Perhaps it's the fact that, as an act, levitation seems very "simple", i.e. a person rising up a coupla feet off the ground, while resurrection involves Lab People With White Clothes Doing Serious Work In Silence -- or Jesus Christ.

All this is not too uplifting, I tell you.

recovered after being clinically dead != resurrection

If the resurrected Jesus had a real physical body that levitated to the sky, what happenned to it then? How far did it go? Is it still up there somewhere in outerspace?

David Copperfield can freakin fly! Not just levitate.

Don't doctors bring people back who have "died" for short periods of time. Yet, I've never seen a person levitate like superman.
