@Ruminator The question you pose is whether Paul is mocking the resurrection of Jesus as described in Luke. The fact is the issue/question in Corinthians is about something entirely different from the physical standpoint. I’m guessing but it seems reasonable the attack on resurrection made by some in Corinth is two pronged. One is it never happens.

That is easily refuted but since the OT and NT also have examples of others besides Jesus, a distinction must be made. Jesus was resurrected and will not see death again. His body never saw decay, either right after death or in the future.
This leads to a second challenge. Those whose bodies did decay cannot be raised to life as Jesus was because all others did experience death and decay. The challenge is directed at Jesus indirectly. Since the bodies of the others have decayed, how can you say there is resurrection of the dead (which physically cannot be like Jesus)? This is what Paul addresses in the passage you cite.
Paul is not mocking the actual accounts in Luke, he is addressing the challenge of a resurrected body of those, who, unlike Jesus experienced decay.
As to questions about the physical nature of Jesus body, what are you getting at? Are you suggesting it didn’t happen? IOW if no heartbeat, no digestion, then not a true resurrection? Or are you accepting the resurrection and questioning the type of resurrected body.

The question he is answering is this:

[1Co 15:35 NASB95] [35] But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?"

And his answer is this:

[1Co 15:36-49 NASB95] [36] You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies; [37] and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else. [38] But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own. [39] All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one [flesh] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and an…

@Ruminator If the concern is about those who have died, why are you concerned with the heartbeat or digestion of Jesus? Obviously those who have died no longer have a body. This is not an opinion off the top of my head. It is a fact of nature, unless you have some weird belief that Paul taught the bodies of Christians who died did not decay.
If they did decay, as most people believe, and if the dead are raised, then it is logical (something you might dismiss) to ask what type of body they will have. Again, logic and nature colloide in the real world. Paul, you say the dead are raised and as proof you point to Jesus. But how can a person whose body decayed be resurrected like Jesus, whose body never experienced decay.
Ruminator sees Paul’s letter as mocking the resurrection account of Luke. To what purpose, please share what you are really after. Are you denying the resurrection of Jesus or resurrection in general?

So in your view, Christ was raised physically in his punctured body only made of indestructible "spirit" material?

@Ruminator No you didn't. It seems like you are questioning the resurrection, not the type of body. Your reasoning seems to be Paul is mocking Luke's account because Christ wasn't raised in the manner Paul describes. So does "mocking" mean it never happened? Or is there something else you're questioning.
The question in Corinth is over a bodily resurrection.
