> resurrection (cardiopulmonary resuscitation machines)

Get back to me when that can ressurect me after I've been dead for a week or so.

We have people walking around for weeks with no heartbeat.

They're tied to a machine, sure, but that machine itself is a miracle compared to any foundational religious textbook including those as recent as Doreen Valiente and Gerald Gardner with Wicca.

But had those people been lying around with no heartbeat for a week or three before they were hooked up to the machine? If they had, then yes, that would actually be resurrection. But what you're describing doesn't sound like it.
