Quote:And to me, the rapid spread of early Christianity during a time without good means of transportation or communication further supports the idea that something truly extraordinary was going on.
At this time there was indeed a perfectly efficient means of transportation and communication, it was called the Roman army. After Rome became Christianised where its army went Christianity went, that's how Christianity spread so quickly.
Quote:It helps give credit to the miracles depicted in the Gospels.
Miracles do not; and never have happened. Miracles are magic, magic isn't real.
Quote:And not only is there historical evidence for Jesus' existance,
See above.
Quote:but for others in the NT as well - the deciples,
The disciples you say? Well let me thing about that...... No. Sorry.
Quote:John the Baptist, Punctious Pilot, Paul, etc...
The only mention of JtB outside of scripture is by Josephus but here believers paint themselves into a corner. Josephus' JtB is completely different to gospel JtB they can't both be true now can they? I'll let you decide which is which.
That Pilate was a real historical character was never in dispute but the fact that he was real in no way supports the existence of your god man.
There is no historical evidence for the bible character 'Paul'. Ok, somebody wrote that guff so we may as well call him Paul it matters not. But without knowing who he was we have no idea why he wrote what he did or when it was written, we have no idea who his intended audience was. Besides, Paul's Jebus is completely different to the gospel Jebus. Paul's Jebus is a celestial entity not an earthly one. You can't have it both ways.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
