It's not really an objection, it's more of an observation.

While scientific research has never really shown that resurrection is impossible, it has also never really shown that it is possible.

It's very easy to say something has happened from something other than natural causes, because it can never be proven nor dis-proven.

There is no illustration, that can be applied, it is merely a matter of faith. If it was believable, one would assume that throughout history, more people would have become believers.

For the disciples and others to whom Jesus appeared after His resurrection it was not a matter of faith. They were eyewitnesses who didn't have to take on faith what someone else told them about Jesus. They were transformed by the experience and spread the teaching throughout the Greco-Roman world. Today's believers acknowledge the Resurrection by faith, but it is encouraging that the historical facts support the belief.
