He means that if any of these things happened again, we would believe them, while the same is not true for Buddhism. If God flooded the earth tomorrow and picked another Noah, or if some dude who was executed rose from the dead, people would notice and start believing, while if some guy went up a tree for a while and then started telling people he was enlightened and they should listen to him, they'd think he was full of shit.
The problem being, an awful lot of people saw Jesus die and a lot probably saw his empty tomb (though why they would put an insignificant rabble-rouser in a tomb of his own is beyond me), but no one was converted immediately, and the Egyptians weren't Jewish, even though they would have been around shortly after the flood...
