Is Our Resurrection Impossible?

Will our bodies one day be raised from the dead or not? How can
we know? Impossible, says one group. Before you make such a flat
declaration, look at that unattractive insect upon the blade of grass.
In just a few short days you will find that insect floating in the air,
a beautiful gossamer creature with wings that rival the rainbow. Look
at the dry root in the dark, cold winter. When spring comes, out of
that root will blossom forth a profusion of beautiful blossoms. Look at
the egg, an inert and earthbound shape. Yet in it lies the eagle that
can wing and soar above all other birds, or the tiny hummingbird that
remains poised in mid-air before some flower, defying the pull of
gravity. The doctrine of the resurrection is not inconsistent with the
analogies of nature or the experience of our common history.
