If it ever happened it would be a miracle indeed, defying science and making a mockery of the laws made by God Himself, but it would be a miracle that would still fail to solve the problem at hand. Such a revival would mean not just the revival of the cells of the central nervous system, but actually their synthesis. Even if the same cells were reconstructed and brought to life exactly as they were before, they would, in fact, be a new set of cells devoid of any previous memory.
