Quote:I believe there are more statues and mosaics and other ancient reminders of Christ than their are of Caesar. But these aside, what other evidence do we accept of Julius Caesar? How do we know the details of the specific events of his life--what he said and what he did? For example, how do we know why he decided to cross the river and march his army on Rome?
I think I already addressed this in my response about what constitutes evidence and whose is more credible. The simple answer is, we can't. however, the claims of Christianity are extraordinary claims, and so, require extraordinary evidence to support them. If Caesar were alive today, he could do the same things and no one would ask the same questions in the same vein. However, if Jesus were alive today and did the things he was purported to have done, then you can bet your ass there would be a lot more scrutiny of what he was doing and how he was doing it.
