A further objection concerns a sequence of existence, nonexistence, and later existence. How can an interval of nonexistence be related to that same thing without making it simultaneously existent and nonexistent?
The response distinguishes a contradiction at one time and in one respect from different states at different times. It is contradictory to affirm existence and nonexistence of the same object at once in the same respect. A proposed sequence across times is not automatically that contradiction.
Even if the conceptual possibility is defended, resurrection need not require the complete-annihilation model. Reassembly avoids dependence on that additional disputed premise.
