An entirely alternative one that has nothing much to do with the Jesus of the Bible. God did not come from outer space to have sex with the virgin Mary to provide his son with a physical body on Earth. There concept of God is something like Zeus that's not God.
Wait.
Don't the Jews claim that same thing about the NT?
Do I detect a bit of special pleading here?
