The Resurrection » Is not contrary to reason

1 Corinthians 15:35-49

But some man will say, How are the dead raised, and with what kind of body do they come? Thou foolish man, what thou sow is not made alive unless it dies. And what thou sow, thou do not sow the body that it will become, but a bare grain, if it may happen of wheat, or of some other kind. read more.
But God gives it a body as he wills, and to each of the seeds its own body. All flesh is not the same flesh, but one of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds, and heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies (but the glory of the heavenly is different, and the glory of the earthly is different), another glory is of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars, for star differs from star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in the perishable, it is raised in imperishability. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam developed into a living soul. The last Adam a life giving spirit. Nevertheless the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, earthly. The second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthly, such also are the earthly. And as is the heavenly, such also are the heavenly. And just as we have worn the form of the earthly, we will also wear the form of the heavenly.

For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain. Ye are still in your sins. Then also those who slept in Christ have perished.
