No, it is an example of what I have said in my previous posts, but you haven't paid any attention to.  You start with the assumption that Christianity (e.g. the resurrection) is true. Then you derive your apologetic. Such a procedure is circular and thus fideistic.  If you would really try to understand that point, then you might understand what I have been saying in this thread.  YECs and you start with the assumption that there is zero possibility that the resurrection is wrong. Then the YECs proceed to protect the Bible by saying that science is wrong, and you proceed to protect the Bible by saying that it doesn't say any thing true about tangible reality.
 
Like it or not, the resurrection can't be considered tangible reality because it is not repeatable.
