I don't see why it would even slow down Dawkins and Co. - they would just have to readjust their rhetoric.

They would not need to "readjust" anything. Rational people would infer only that which the evidence warrants, as they do now, so the process would not change. As new evidence is found or new observations are made, previous theories are modified or discarded. That IS, as you say, the "rhetoric."

We could not really say what could be rationally inferred from the dramatic evidence you pose, without knowing the details. One thing we could say, however, is that the "miracle" you describe could not be considered as evidence for the Judeo-Christian God. It is impossible, even in principle, for there to be evidence for a thing which is hopelessly mired in contradictions and absurdities.
