But again, the idea of a hero coming from royalty, regardless of first generation, or down the line was a common motif in both polytheism and monotheism. Humans mistook their fortune as coming from a higher power.
AND AGAIN, even if I agreed with you there were no contradictions, scientific method has debunked claims of magic babies with super powers, and nobody survives the death story claimed as the bible intends you to believe.
Those would be things we'd have to examine one by one to see whether the evidence led us to believe that they were more or less probable.
But SOME argument (such as Jesus never existed) are just the result of ignorance.
No it isn't ignorant. The character of the bible could not have existed as the bible paints him. Babies don't get born without a second set of DNA, babies don't have super natural powers. Humans do not survive the act of torture the bible depicts, and ALL of the Gospels were written after the fact. And all the Gospels contradict each other on countless events, bloodline included. The story of Jesus is complete bunk, just on the fantastic claims alone, and the different Gospels are utter Swiss cheese.
