No...he still does enough to piss off the fundies. That's a worthwhile project. And the rest of us can see through the cherry-picking because we don't have the holy blinders on in the first place.
Let's remember that those same scholars also regard "paul" as the earliest xtian writings - and we can debate that too - so for the sake of argument let's go with that. "Paul" doesn't know shit about miracles, parables, Pilate, Mary, Joseph, Caiaphas, Jerusalem, Nazareth, or global darkness and earthquakes. If that is the "earliest" story what are we to make of the later story with all the bells and whistles added?
