I view resurrection as easier than the original creation/assemblage of any of us in the first place. Surely it's easier to do something a second time, once you've had practice and a working model (our current incarnation)? So, to my way of thinking, resurrection is FAR easier for God to perform than it would be to create us in the first place and, since THAT'S already the case, the second-time-round is a piece of cake.
