If going back to see a religion formed is my only time travel choice, I would go back to watch Jesus preach. The reason being that I think he was just one more rabbi with an apocalyptic message, and I'd like to see if I'm right. I'd also love to see actually wrote the New Testament and when. I'd particularly want to go if I could document what I saw in some provable way.

I'd go even further and take a look at the solar system when Earth was a molten ball.

Or, of you wanted to be really adventurous, travel back to just 'before' the big bang. Both views would be incredible.

Scientology. Just so I could give Hubbard a hefty slap.

The historical Jesus most likely existed.

And the evidence for that statement is?

Trying to pin jesus on a single mad preacher back then is a bit like finding a needle in an arse stack.

If I had to choose one religion, I'd go with Buddhism.

But yeah . . . dinosaurs!

I would not like to derail this thread;

I once thought he was nothing more than a myth before stumbling upon this.

One of the users is called Tim O Neill, an Atheist himself who argues that Jesus must have existed due to the political atmosphere/effect he had on the Roman Empire.

I'd suggest looking at some of the 50+ page threads about this topic.

That is akin to stating that Harry Potter must have existed for the same reason.

Yeah, that's not a good argument, working backwards from effects. Bullshit can generate just the same effects.
