There is more than one way to heaven.

What if we fast forward it so far to the future that bears are extinct and there are no fossilized remains. someone has eventually wrote the story down at the time it was told to them and passed that down. If the basis for the writing of the story started at a point even 500 years after the original it would still differ greatly. The natural world is something you're going to have to define for me.My perspective at the time of the original occurance was based on my percieved reality of my surrounding world. Who are we to say what a more primitive man's percieved reality was. To them seeing angels and pillars of fire was commonplace. It was real enough for them to transcibe an oral tradition and put their observations of it onto a scroll. I'm pretty sure I saw Chris angel walk on water a few weeks ago. Perhaps we just lack perspective on what is attainable?

Clear enough?

Christianity is only 40 years after, so it's a bad comparison.

The natural world is something you're going to have to define for me.

Spacetime and everything inside it.

A lot of people have perceived many different things, we can either believe all of them because "who are we to say" or we can compare their experience to a reality that we can observe and see if they are congruent.

To them seeing angels and pillars of fire was commonplace. It was real enough for them to transcibe an oral tradition and put their observations of it onto a scroll.

There are lots of people seeing Greek and Roman and Egyptian entities too, does that mean they are also true? What about people seeing ghosts? People who claim to be abducted by UFO's? What about David Icke seeing reptilian overlords who rule the world?

If the claims of Jews and Christians are good enough for you to consider them true then why don't you believe everything that anyone has ever claimed? It is all the same stock standard testimony.

I'm pretty sure I saw Chris angel walk on water a few weeks ago. Perhaps we just lack perspective on what is attainable?

Chris Angel would be the first person to tell you that none of that shit is real. He's an illusionist and Skeptic!
