Dear Dr. Sophronius,
No, cellular replication alone can’t be called a resurrection. The real trick is getting the same spirit into the physically resurrected body. The ancient Egyptians believed they knew how to accomplish this, and I discuss the theory at length in Modern Metaphysics.
In brief, the ancient Egyptian priests believed the spirit of the dead would dwell amongst the art in the mummy’s tomb. How the child cloned from that DNA is raised and educated in relation to that art is critical. Both the body must re-grow from the DNA preserved in the body, and the spirit must re-grow in that body from the spirit preserved in the art, for a resurrection to succeed.
In Jesus' time Jews were divided among Pharisees and Sadducees. The Pharisees believed in a future physical resurrection, in a coming messianic age; the Sadducees didn't. The Pharisees however, didn't practice embalming, which is clearly an Egyptian idea. I've said previously that many "Christian" ideas which differ from Judaism (such as embalming the dead) come from the Egyptians.
Now consider Jesus' words to the Pharisee, Nicodemus, in John 3:3-7, " Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
