Yeah. I admit, I would very much openly and publicly denounce my atheism, even on the front page of the newspaper and the 6:00 news if a Christian actualy present hard evidence that not only specifically Jesus did really exist, but that he was also the living embodyment of a supernatural creator. I would loudly admit that the Christian was correct and I was wrong and then ask Christians forgiveness for me mocking them when I was so wrong and they were so right.
...but...
Thats would mean that the fleash eating bacteria didnt evolve, but was actually plotted out and created by a creator god. That would mean that Jesus personally and purposefully created the flesh eating bacteria solely for the purpose to eat whatever flesh it came in contact with. Eye worms would also have been created with the sole purpose to bore into human eyes and to make people go blind. And all of the countless nastiness in nature that we deal with today, I would no longer be able to suggest that they evolved that way to survive, but were instead created that way by Jesus to do what it does.
Right now I consider Jesus to be a fictional character put together by a handful of racist, sexist, powerhungry pricks. If actual proof that Jesus existed and is the son of god was shown to me then I would actually dispise him worse, because he would be solely responsible for the horrors on this planet, and not evolution. I cant blame evolution for viruses and parasites, but if a God/Jesus is proven to exist, then I will actually have an intelligent agent to point my finger at and say "You heartless, cruel, sadistic son-of-a-bitch! How could you create polio, and let it kill countless amounts of men, women and children?! Ignoring prayers in silence until godless men of science finally figured how to imunize people from it. You are a dispicable, despotic tyrant that should be spat upon. Not worshipped!"
In other words, it would not change my knowledge that this Jesus character is a douche bag. It will merely enhance it.
