That's nice. However, this is not the Exploring Christianity forum.Christians believe it actually happened as accounted in scripture.
I was referring to Occam's razor. “Entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity”, and all that.I think you used the wrong word there.
They never "listened" to a heartbeat?
I'm sure they did brin...but any EMT can tell you there's probably hundreds of conditions that can lead to a relatively undetectable heartbeat. Just because you can't hear/feel it doesn't mean it's not there.
Besides, I think you also need to consider the people attending the death. Is it a shock to them? Did they come to the person who fell dead out of the blue? Or did they come to a person who has been dying of something for several days/hours?

Try to look at my post in the context of a response to the post I replied to.
Only reason I brought it up was I remember reading about coffins with bells and strings so that people buried alive (because they were believed dead) could notify someone.
I did read the post you replied to. The poster was responding to the question of whether an instance of resurrection from the dead is a supernatural event. As they pointed out, it is. You are derailing the thread by inferring that "Maybe the resurrection never happened, maybe he was never dead." That has nothing to do with the OP, which is specifically about resurrection and whether resurrection could be accomplished naturally.
It's possible I misunderstood the OP...but then it would be kind of a dumb OP, wouldn't it? I thought he wanted to know if it were possible to "appear" resurrected naturally...
Do you guys think that the resurrection and ascension to heaven was a supernatural event (ie does it defy natural laws)? Or, could god have caused the resurrection (and ascension to heaven) to happen via natural laws?...
Here's is what they said, the second sentence is particularly informative regarding your question:
What would it mean for someone to naturally resurrect (either by the power of God or some other means)? The jury is out on that one, but the OP seems clear enough.
In the context of the forum within which this thread was started, I do not see how "fakery" cannot be an option as one of your "some other means". Has not that explanation gotten some serious milage when applied to a myriad of other "supernatural" claims the world has seen?...

It doesn't need to be for my answer to be relevant to the OP.That's nice. However, this is not the Exploring Christianity forum.
Understood. However, it was still a word that wasn't correct and especially in that regard.I was referring to Occam's razor. “Entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity”, and all that.
To keep on topic, the full three days.Are we talking a full three days or just a couple nights?
It was. Its title, The Serpent and the Rainbow.That's HORRIBLE....Sounds like a horror movie LOL!

The OP question deals with an event that is exclusively addressing that which pertains to Jesus. The Lord of the Christians faith. It is relevant then to speak in such terms as those which further the discussion about the event.It does for mine.
You said:There are more parsimonious explanations.How so?
Allegedly a fictional story surrounding the real life substance known as zombie powder. A paralyzing substance Tetrodotoxin. The primary ingredient derived from puffer fish. Which is why Sushi restaurants that serve puffer fish have to have their chefs certified so as to prove they know how to harvest the fish safely.i think i saw that horrible movie...i vaguely remember it... i just remember that it was seriously disturbing
If we're talking about Jesus, which one may infer from the OP, we're talking three days.Well if the topic is the resurrection of Jesus we're talking about something closer to a day and a half to a day and three quarters.
Probably not unreasonable.

The movie wasn't without its critics in matters of the zombie powder ingredients. I remember it as not so bad as a horror film.
Imagine being buried alive fully conscious but unable to move. Gads!

Understandable. I just remember I never wanted to visit Haiti.Terrifying. (i only remember bits n' pieces of the movie...mostly i remember i never wanted to see it again LOL!)
