This debate is completely nihilistic. If zombies are resurrected corpses, then by definition none of their anatomical parts are functional, and they are either bloodless or their veins are impregnated with stagnant blood (having been dead and all). Therefore, when all of the reliable references have shown zombies being destroyed by shootings, beheadings, limb destruction, falls from excessive heights, etc., this immediately contradicts the laws of nature, as such injuries cannot damage organs and other body parts to the point of fatality, as they were nonfunctional to begin with. And to be specific, if paralysis is caused by damage to spinal nerves, then no zombie should be mobile, as clearly all of their nerves are dead.
And if you argue that zombies are not subject to the laws of nature, but are supernatural, then NO rules apply, and they ought to be indestructible. Beheading a zombie would be futile, as the ability to walk/function in general is dependent upon the brain stem, but as this is obviously not functional in the live human sense, then zombies ought not to anatomically animated in any fashion. But they are.
This is a complex and controversial can of worms you've opened up, my friend.
