Two scenarios that may/may not happen.

RE: Two scenarios that may/may not happen.
Regarding 1, evolution != the origin of life. Moreover, we see evolution happening. There are biologists here who can explain it better than I could ever hope to, but it's highly unlikely that evolution will be proven false. Moreover, even if it is, that doesn't automatically mean that creationism is correct. One of the greatest failings of our society is the establishment and reinforcement that things are binary. That there are only two choices to everything, and that if one is wrong, the other must be correct. It doesn't work that way.

Regarding 2, whether or not an actual Jesus lived is less important than the idea that this person performed miracles and that his sacrifice is the only path towards eternal salvation. There's nothing outside the Bible (which is the assertion that these things are true) that points to any of it being plausible, let alone fact. So, even if there was a prophet named Jesus who had a literal cult of personality rise up around him, that doesn't lend any veracity to the mystical aspects of the story.*

*We have a member here named SteveII who thinks that the fact that a church was formed and that people believed in the divinity of Jesus somehow lends credence to the idea that he was actually divine. Don't be that guy.
